Introduction to C-Programming As seen in ENGS 20

Certain incremental and decrement statements, such as the following, are so commonly used in C, especially when working with loops, that there is even a shorthand for the shorthand!

Because of their ubiquitousness, there is yet another shorthand notation just for these operations of adding one to or subtracting one from a variable!

In the following video, we’ll take a look at the shorthand notation that shortens the already short compound assignment operators += and +=:

int i = 5;
i++;
printf("%d ", i);
printf("%d ", i++);
printf("%d ", i--);
printf("%d ", --i);
