Why doesn't changing the pre to the post increment at the iteration part of a for loop make a difference?

Question

Why does this

 int x = 2;
    for (int y =2; y>0;y--){
        System.out.println(x + \" \"+ y + \" \");
        x++;
    }

prints the s

Answer 1

Because that statement is just on it's own. The order of the increment doesn't matter there.
