Is "++i" more efficient or "i++" ?

P.S. I already wasted more cpu cycles by posting this, than I would ever waste by using either of them....

Afaik it doesn't matter, the only difference is the return value (i.e. the i before or after the addition)

@lucascorpion I am not asking. It's a joke....

@playmast3r Damn you, and damn my tired brain :P

In some cases yes, but I wouldn't bother unless you're really desperate :P

It depends:
It's your i angry? Put it in the front of ++ so you can see when she misbehaves.

If you have a cool, relaxed i instead, the order doesn't matter.

Yes it matters but your compiler will optimize it away

loop truu an array and start witth 0++
i is/are berter than array[i+1] as lonng as you donn¨t code druk

Yes, the answer is yes. ++i is more efficient because when you use the ++ operator in such a way, before the variable, it will up the variable by one and immediately return it.

x = x + 1;
return x;

However, i++ makes a temporary variable, meaning it takes more memory, it assigns the current value of i to the temporary variable and adds one to i and it returns the temporary variable, which is the value before increment.

int temp = x;
x = x + 1;
return temp;

So, it is a bit less efficient, but you won't die from using i++ over ++i.
