Pre- & Post Increment in C#

Question

I am a little confused about how the C# compiler handles pre- and post increments and decrements.

When I code the following:

int x = 4;
x = x++ + ++x         


        

Answer 1

In this example,

int x = 4;
x = x++ + ++x;

you can break it like:

x = 4++; which is = 5
x = 4 + ++5; which is 4 + 6
x = 10

Similarly,

int x = 4;
x = x-- - --x;

Here,

x = 4--; which is = 3
x = 4 - --3; which is 4 - 2
x = 2

Simply putting you can say, replace the current value of x, but for every ++ or -- add/subtract a value from x.
