Difference between pre-increment and post-increment in a loop?

Question

Is there a difference in ++i and i++ in a for loop? Is it simply a syntax thing?

Answer 1

The question is:

Is there a difference in ++i and i++ in a for loop?

The answer is: No.

Why does each and every other answer have to go into detailed explanations about pre and post incrementing when this is not even asked?

This for-loop:

for (int i = 0; // Initialization
     i < 5;     // Condition
     i++)       // Increment
{
   Output(i);
}

Would translate to this code without using loops:

int i = 0; // Initialization

loopStart:
if (i < 5) // Condition
{
   Output(i);

   i++ or ++i; // Increment

   goto loopStart;
}

Now does it matter if you put i++ or ++i as increment here? No it does not as the return value of the increment operation is insignificant. i will be incremented AFTER the code's execution that is inside the for loop body.
