Is there a performance difference between i++ and ++i in C++?
Is there a reason some programmers write ++i
in a normal for loop instead of writing i++
?
For integers, there is no difference between pre- and post-increment.
If i
is an object of a non-trivial class, then ++i
is generally preferred, because the object is modified and then evaluated, whereas i++
modifies after evaluation, so requires a copy to be made.
