for循环中的++i和i++有区别吗?这仅仅是语法问题吗?


当前回答

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):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace PreOrPostIncrement
{
    class Program
    {
        static int SomethingToIncrement;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PreIncrement(1000);
            PostIncrement(1000);
            Console.WriteLine("SomethingToIncrement={0}", SomethingToIncrement);
        }

        static void PreIncrement(int count)
        {
            /*
            .method private hidebysig static void  PreIncrement(int32 count) cil managed
            {
              // Code size       25 (0x19)
              .maxstack  2
              .locals init ([0] int32 i)

              IL_0016:  blt.s      IL_0004
              IL_0018:  ret
            } // end of method Program::PreIncrement             
             */
            for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
            {
                ++SomethingToIncrement;
            }
        }

        static void PostIncrement(int count)
        {
            /*
                .method private hidebysig static void  PostIncrement(int32 count) cil managed
                {
                  // Code size       25 (0x19)
                  .maxstack  2

            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                SomethingToIncrement++;
            }
        }
    }
}

其他回答

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;
}

我很奇怪为什么这么多人把for循环中的增量表达式写成i++。

在for循环中,当第三个组件是一个简单的增量语句时,例如

for (i=0; i<x; i++)  

or

for (i=0; i<x; ++i)   

结果执行没有区别。

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. 

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

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。
