How do the post increment (i++) and pre increment (++i) operators work in Java?

by

++a increments and then uses the variable.
a++ uses and then increments the variable.

If you have

a = 1;

and you do

System.out.println(a++); //You will see 1

//Now a is 2

System.out.println(++a); //You will see 3
