关于++i和i++，不仅仅是循环和性能差异。++i返回一个l值，i++返回一个r值。基于此，可以对(++i)执行许多操作，但不能对(i++)执行许多操作。

1- It is illegal to take the address of post increment result. Compiler won't even allow you.
2- Only constant references to post increment can exist, i.e., of the form const T&.
3- You cannot apply another post increment or decrement to the result of i++, i.e., there is no such thing as I++++. This would be parsed as ( i ++ ) ++ which is illegal.
4- When overloading pre-/post-increment and decrement operators, programmers are encouraged to define post- increment/decrement operators like:

T& operator ++ ( )
{
   // logical increment
   return *this;
}

const T operator ++ ( int )
{
    T temp( *this );
    ++*this;
    return temp;
}

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。

在javascript中由于以下原因i++可能更好使用:

var i=1;
alert(i++); // before, 1. current, 1. after, 2.
alert(i); // before, 2. current, 2. after, 2.
alert(++i); // before, 2. current, 3 after, 3.

虽然数组(我认为所有)和其他一些函数和调用使用0作为起点，但当使用++ I时，必须将I设置为-1以使循环与数组一起工作。

当使用i++时，下面的值将使用增加的值。你可以说i++是人类计数的方式，因为你可以从0开始。

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):

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.

在c#中，在for循环中使用没有区别。

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); }

输出和

for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) { Console.WriteLine(i); }

正如其他人指出的那样，在一般情况下i++和++i有一个微妙但显著的区别:

int i = 0;
Console.WriteLine(i++);   // Prints 0
int j = 0;
Console.WriteLine(++j);   // Prints 1

i++读取I的值，然后增加它。

++i增加i的值，然后读取它。
