Could someone explain to me why the 2 blocks of code below result in different values?
Double plus
let n = 2;
let x = n++;
// n = 3, x = 2
Plus equals
let n = 2;
let x = n += 1;
// n = 3, x = 3

7`let x = ++n;` should yield the same value. It depends on where you put the ++ for when the increment happens. – Jamesking56 Nov 20 '17 at 13:05

++ will assign the value first then increment n by 1 because it is post increment operator – Dhaval Pankhaniya Nov 20 '17 at 13:06

1`x = n++;` is equivalent to `x=n; n = n+1;` – gurvinder372 Nov 20 '17 at 13:07
