Pre-Decrement Operator

• If the -- is before the variable then the decrementing is done first.

• int amount, count;

• count = 3;

• amount = 2 * --count;

• 1 gets subtracted from count first, then amount gets the value of 2 * 2 or 4

• So after executing the last line, amount is 4 and count is 2.
