要理解FOR循环的作用

上图显示FOR可以转换为WHILE，因为它们最终具有完全相同的汇编代码(至少在gcc中)。所以我们可以把FOR分解成几部分，来理解它的功能。

for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
  DoSomethingA();
  DoSomethingB();
}

等于WHILE版本

i = 0; //first argument (a statement) of for
while (i < 5 /*second argument (a condition) of for*/) {
  DoSomethingA();
  DoSomethingB();
  ++i; //third argument (another statement) of for
}

It means that you can use FOR as a simple version of WHILE: The first argument of FOR (int i) is executed, outside, before the loop. The third argument of FOR (i++ or ++i) is executed, inside, in the last line of the loop. TL:DR: no matter whether i++ or ++i, we know that when they are standalone, they make no difference but +1 on themselves. In school, they usually teach the i++ way, but there are also lots of people prefer the ++i way due to several reasons. NOTE: In the past, i++ has very little impact on the performance, as it does not only plus one by itself, but also keeps the original value in the register. But for now, it makes no difference as the compiler makes the plus one part the same.

正如这段代码所示(请参阅注释中拆解的MSIL)， c# 3编译器在for循环中不区分i++和++i。如果取i++或++i的值，肯定会有区别(这是在visual Studio 2008 / Release Build中编译的):

            PreIncrement(1000);
            PostIncrement(1000);

        }

            } // end of method Program::PreIncrement             
             */
            for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
            {
                ++SomethingToIncrement;
            }
        }

        static void PostIncrement(int count)
        {
            /*

                {

                } // end of method Program::PostIncrement
             */
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                SomethingToIncrement++;
            }
        }
    }
}

在这两种情况下，'i'将加1。

但是当你在表达式中使用它时，就有区别了，例如:

int i = 1;
int a = ++i;
// i is incremented by one and then assigned to a.
// Both i and a are now 2.
int b = i++;
// i is assigned to b and then incremented by one.
// b is now 2, and i is now 3

是的，有。区别在于返回值。"++i"的返回值将是加i之后的值。"i++"的返回值将是加i之前的值。这意味着代码看起来像下面这样:

int a = 0;
int b = ++a; // a is incremented and the result after incrementing is saved to b.
int c = a++; // a is incremented again and the result before incremening is saved to c.

因此，a等于2,b和c都等于1。

我可以像这样重写代码:

int a = 0; 

// ++a;
a = a + 1; // incrementing first.
b = a; // setting second. 

// a++;
c = a; // setting first. 
a = a + 1; // incrementing second. 

是的，在for循环中，++i和i++之间是有区别的，尽管在不寻常的用例中;当在for块中或在循环测试表达式中使用带有递增/递减操作符的循环变量，或与其中一个循环变量一起使用时。不，这不仅仅是语法问题。

因为i在代码中表示对表达式i求值，而运算符并不表示求值，而只是一个操作;

++i表示将i的值增加1，然后对i求值， i++表示对I求值，然后将I的值增加1。

因此，从每两个表达式中得到的内容是不同的，因为在每个表达式中求值的内容是不同的。i和i都一样

例如;

let i = 0

i++ // evaluates to value of i, means evaluates to 0, later increments i by 1, i is now 1
0
i
1
++i // increments i by 1, i is now 2, later evaluates to value of i, means evaluates to 2
2
i
2

在不寻常的用例中，下一个例子听起来有用与否并不重要，它显示了差异

for(i=0, j=i; i<10; j=++i){
    console.log(j, i)
}

for(i=0, j=i; i<10; j=i++){
    console.log(j, i)
}

既然你问了循环中的区别，我猜你的意思是

for(int i=0; i<10; i++) 
    ...;

在这种情况下，你在大多数语言中没有什么不同:无论你写i++还是++i，循环的行为都是一样的。在c++中，你可以编写自己版本的++操作符，如果i是用户定义的类型(例如，你自己的类)，你可以为它们定义不同的含义。

上面的原因并不重要，因为您没有使用i++的值。另一件事是你做的时候

for(int i=0, a = 0; i<10; a = i++) 
    ...;

现在，有一个区别，因为正如其他人指出的那样，i++意味着增量，但求值到之前的值，但++i意味着增量，但求值到i(因此它将求值到新值)。在上面的例子中，a被赋给i之前的值，而i是递增的。
