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

If for example you do something like this:

int myInt = 5;

Foo(++myInt);

void Foo(int x)
{
   Console.WriteLine(x);
}

This will print out 6.

Foo(myInt++);

will print out 5;

Basically, ++myInt increments FIRST uses the variable SECOND. myInt++ is the opposite.
