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

You are right. The difference can be seen in this case:

for(int i = 0; i < 5; )
       {
            System.out.println("i is : " + ++i);           
       }
