The post-increment and post-decrement operators increase (or decrease) the value of their operand by 1, but the value of the expression is the operand's value prior to the increment (or decrement) operation. In languages where increment/decrement is not an expression (e.g., Go), only one version is needed (in the case of Go, post operators only).
All the operators (except typeof) listed exist in C++; the column "Included in C", states whether an operator is also present in C. Note that C does not support operator overloading. When not overloaded, for the operators && , || , and , (the comma operator ), there is a sequence point after the evaluation of the first operand.
They are also used in other parts of the processor, where they are used to calculate addresses, table indices, increment and decrement operators and similar operations. Although adders can be constructed for many number representations, such as binary-coded decimal or excess-3, the most common adders operate on binary numbers.
Semantically operators can be seen as special form of function with different calling notation and a limited number of parameters (usually 1 or 2). The position of the operator with respect to its operands may be prefix, infix or postfix (suffix [1]), and the syntax of an expression involving an operator depends on its arity (number of operands ...
This category has the following 2 subcategories, out of 2 total. ... Assignment operator; Assignment operator (C++) ... Increment and decrement operators;
Recently, there was a revert to remove the Label Value Operator && from the list of C/C++ operators. While it is true that the operator is not at all standard ISO C/C++, it is a non-standard extension to some dialects, one of which is documented here. This raises the question of whether or not there should be a seperate table for operators ...
The predecessor program changes the variable x 2, which might be in use elsewhere. To expand the statement x 0 := x 1 ∸ 1, one could initialize the variables x n, x n+1 and x n+2 (for a big enough n) to 0, x 1 and 0 respectively, run the code on these variables and copy the result (x n) to x 0. A compiler can do this.
The article states that the "increment operator increases the value of its operand by 1", but this is only sometimes correct, and misses the point of the operator. The operator actually increases the value by an amount that reflects the number of machine words required to store the data.
