C increment ++ and decrement -- operators give in the end same value change to variable whether used in prefix or postfix form
prefix form:
--var; ++var;
postfix form:
var--; var++;
however when used within functions as argument operators there is a big difference, the example below demonstrates it

/*
This example demonstrates the difference in using
prefix or postfix form of increment and decrement operators
*/
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
int i,j;
i=15;
j=15;
printf("I= %d , J= %d \n\r", i, j);
printf("-------------\n\r");
printf("I= %d , J= %d \n\r", ++i, j++);
printf("-------------\n\r");
printf("I= %d , J= %d \n\r", i, j);
printf("=============\n\r");
printf("I= %d , J= %d \n\r", i, j);
printf("-------------\n\r");
printf("I= %d , J= %d \n\r", --i, j--);
printf("-------------\n\r");
printf("I= %d , J= %d \n\r", i, j);
return 0;
}
