Concept understanding — Assignment, Increment and Conditional Operators in C

Beyond the basic arithmetic and relational operators, C offers several operators that make code shorter and more expressive.

Assignment and compound-assignment operators. The simple = stores a value in a variable. C also provides compound forms that combine an operation with assignment: +=, -=, *=, /=, %= and the bitwise ones such as ^=. For example, x += y is a compact way of writing x = x + y, and x ^= y means x = x ^ y. These give a neat, compact representation of arithmetic and bit operations.

Increment and decrement operators. The increment operator ++ adds 1 to a variable and the decrement operator -- subtracts 1. Each has two forms: the prefix form (++a) changes the value before it is used in the expression, while the postfix form (a++) uses the current value first and changes it afterwards. …

[!TLDR]

The ++ operator adds 1 to a variable; a++ uses the value then increments, while ++a increments then uses the value.

The increment operator ++ increases the value of its operand by 1. It has two forms:

Post-increment (a++): the current value is used in the expression first, and then the variable is increased.
Pre-increment (++a): the variable is increased first, and the new value is used in the expression.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    int a = 5, b;
    b = a++;   /* post: b gets 5, then a becomes 6 */
    printf("Post-increment: a = %d, b = %d\n", a, b);
    a = 5;
    b = ++a;   /* pre: a becomes 6, then b gets 6 */ …
