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 determines when the result for that operation is returned.

Here's an example from the MSDN site:

static void Main() 
{
    double x;
    x = 1.5;
    Console.WriteLine(++x);
    x = 1.5;
    Console.WriteLine(x++);
    Console.WriteLine(x);
}

And the ouput:

2.5
1.5
2.5
