There is a difference, however not when used in a for loop.

In an expression, i++ evaluates to the previous value of i, and then i is incremented. ++i increments first, and evaluates then.

For this reason, some programmers prefer to write ++i in their for-loops — either because they're used to it, or because they feel it is "more right" somehow.
