    Pre-Increment increments the value immediately, Post increment increments the value only after executing the entire line.

    Explanation:

    class PrePostIncOperator {

    public static void main (String[] args) {

    int x=5;

    System. out. println (x++);

    System. out. println ("/n" + + +x);

    }

    }

    Let us understand the program.

    int x = 5 = > Initializes the value of 5 to the variable x

    System. out. println (x++); This is the post increment operator. The value of x gets incremented only after printing the value. That is first System. out. println (x) will be executed and then the increment operator takes place once it finds the "; " that is the end of the statement. The memory which holds the value of x is changed only after executing the statement.

    System. out. println ("/n" + + +x); Here the value gets incremented and immediately assigns to the memory.
