Question 10Distinguish between the following:a. Prefix and Postfix Increment

Question

Accepted Answer

Prefix IncrementPostfix IncrementIt works on the principle of first increment, then use.It works on the principle of first use, then increment.It (++) is written before the operand.It (++) is written after the operand.Example:int a = 99;int b = ++a;After the execution of these two statements, both a and b will have the value of 100.Example:int a = 99;int b = a++;After the execution of these two statements, a will have the value of 100 and b will have the value of 99.b. Prefix and Postfix DecrementPrefix DecrementPostfix DecrementIt works on the principle of first decrement, then use.It works on the principle of first use, then decrement.It (--) is written before the operand.It (--) is written after the operand.Example:int a = 100;int b = --a;After the execution of these two statements, both a and b will have the value of 99.Example:int a = 100;int b = a--;After the execution of these two statements, a will have the value of 99 and b will have the value of 100.c.

Increment and Decrement OperatorIncrement OperatorDecrement OperatorIncrement operators increment the value of their operand by 1.Decrement operators decrement the value of their operand by 1.Increment operators are represented by ++ symbol.Decrement operators are represented by -- symbol.e. / and % operator/%It is the Division operatorIt is the Modulus operatorReturns the quotient of division operationReturns the remainder of division operationExample: int a = 5 / 2; Here a will get the value of 2 which is the quotient of this division operationExample: int b = 5 % 2; Here b will get the value of 1 which is the remainder of this division operation

Prefix Increment	Postfix Increment
It works on the principle of first increment, then use.	It works on the principle of first use, then increment.
It (++) is written before the operand.	It (++) is written after the operand.
Example: `int a = 99;` `int b = ++a;` After the execution of these two statements, both a and b will have the value of 100.	Example: `int a = 99;` `int b = a++;` After the execution of these two statements, a will have the value of 100 and b will have the value of 99.

Prefix Decrement	Postfix Decrement
It works on the principle of first decrement, then use.	It works on the principle of first use, then decrement.
It (--) is written before the operand.	It (--) is written after the operand.
Example: `int a = 100;` `int b = --a;` After the execution of these two statements, both a and b will have the value of 99.	Example: `int a = 100;` `int b = a--;` After the execution of these two statements, a will have the value of 99 and b will have the value of 100.

Unary Operators	Binary Operators
It operates on a single operand	It operates on two operands
Increment (++) and Decrement (--) operators are examples of Unary Arithmetic Operators	Multiplication (*) and Division (/) are examples of Binary Arithmetic Operators

Increment Operator	Decrement Operator
Increment operators increment the value of their operand by 1.	Decrement operators decrement the value of their operand by 1.
Increment operators are represented by ++ symbol.	Decrement operators are represented by -- symbol.

/	%
It is the Division operator	It is the Modulus operator
Returns the quotient of division operation	Returns the remainder of division operation
Example: int a = 5 / 2; Here a will get the value of 2 which is the quotient of this division operation	Example: int b = 5 % 2; Here b will get the value of 1 which is the remainder of this division operation
