In C# what is the difference between myInt++ and ++myInt?

Question

I\'m having a hard time understanding what the difference is between incrementing a variable in C# this way:

myInt++;

and

Answer 1

It doesn't unless it is in an expression, i.e.

myInt=1;
x=myInt++;

is different to:

myInt=1;
x=++myInt;

The first assigns 1 to x, because the assignment happens before the increment.

The second assigns 2 to x, because the assignment happens after the increment.
