Hello!
What is the difference between ++value and value++.
I searched into the books I have, but unsuccessfully.
Thanks a lot in advance! |

Do a Google search for this:
| Quote: |
increment OR pre-increment post-increment in C
|
Copy and paste it into Google. |

Seriously the comment about searching books, does worry. This is in every basic C textbook.
PCM programmer's answer, points to loads of places explaining it, but it is equally easy in a situation like this, to test for yourself.
| Code: |
int8 post, pre, result;
post=1;
result=post++;
printf("%d result %d post\n\r",result,post);
pre=1;
result=++pre;
printf(%d result %d pre\n\r",result,pre);

put a basic processor define, and main, and run it in something like MPLAB, or on a real PIC, and you will see exactly what the difference is.
If in doubt, on any operation like this, a basic test like this takes hardly any more time than asking the question, and you then 'know' exactly what happens.
Best Wishes |
