[Solved] Is there any reason to prefer one style of incrementing an int over another? [closed]

Question

I would prefer i++ over the other two because it expresses a common idiom.

Those lines of code all end up doing exactly the same thing. But if I’m scanning code for an increment, the ++ just sort of jumps off the page.

Also, the i = i++ is actually incorrect. You meant i = ++i.

Short answer: Technically no, but stylistically, yes.
