Post-Increment Operator

• The position of the ++ determines WHEN the value is incremented. If the ++ is after the variable then the incrementing is done last.

• int amount, count;

• count = 3;

• amount = 2 * count++;

• amount gets the value of 2 * 3 or 6 and then 1 gets added to count

• So after executing the last line, amount is 6 and count is 4.
