    [C++] In the statement -- -- What does i++ mean?
    « on: April 24, 2009, 08:42:53 PM »
    -- The statement is
       for ( int i = 2; i < 30; i++ )
       {
       --
    Based on my assumption, i++ means i+1... but -- I don't code in C++ at all.

      i++ mean post increment.  equivalent to i=i+1

      edit: it means "use the value of i first, then increment"

      Like in batch,

      set /a num+=1

      set /a num+=1

      C++  is NOT like batch at all.

      I think he meant to say that set /a num+=1 is the batch equivalent to the C++ command, does same type of thing.

      OK, I see what you mean. On my computer
      set /a num=+1
      gives the value as 1
      Maybe he meant
      set /a num=num+1
      Or did I miss something? What did I miss?

      set /a num+=1 and
      set /a num=%num%+1
      are the same thing. It will return 1 because a blank variable is equaled to 0, but also a blank line. In math, it's equaled to 0, but with echo it counts as nothing being there.

        i++;

        simply mean
        i=i+1;
        i++; will just increament value of i by 1.

        in c,or c++
        i++,++i are same if. if they are not used with other variable.
        in the same way --i,i-- are  same.

        consider
        i=5;
        i++;

        now the value of i is simply 6;
        i=5
        ++i;
        again value of i is 6;

        but u just consider statement
        i=5;
        c=i++;
        the value of c is 5, i is 6.
        i=5;
        c=++i;
        the value of c is 6,i is 6;

        ++ is an unary increment operator which increments the value of the operand by 1. I'd recommend reading books about C++. :)

        books about C++.
        So if I go to the library and ask for a book about C++
        they will give me a book about D
        Which comes after C.
        Is that right?   ::)

        Never knew your librarian uses a C++ compiler for everything that is told. Anyways you should get "Expression syntax" because "give" or "me" or "a" or "book" or "about" or "C++" none are valid in C++ syntax. Try
        Code: [Select]
        library.getBook("C++ for dummies");
        If that fails refer to the manual for that librarian.
