I have this code:
int i = 0;
i = ++i; //pre increment
System.out.println(i); //Prints 1
But if I cahnge:
int i = 0;
i = i++; //post increment
System.out.println(i); //Prints 0
Why?

what ... makes you think it doesn't work? the point is, you assign a value to i, and then increment the value you 've dropped. You should learn how to use that operator, instead of assuming it doesn't work – Stultuske Jan 19 '22 at 08:15
