++i(前缀操作):递增，然后赋值 (例如):int I = 5, int b = ++ I 在这种情况下，先将6赋值给b，然后递增到7，依此类推。

i++(后缀操作):赋值，然后递增 (例如):int I = 5, int b = i++ 在这种情况下，5首先被赋值给b，然后增加到6，依此类推。

在for循环的情况下:i++主要用于，因为通常我们在for循环中递增之前使用i的起始值。但是根据您的程序逻辑，它可能会有所不同。

在循环中使用两者的有效结果是相同的。换句话说，循环将在两个实例中做完全相同的事情。

就效率而言，选择i++而不是++i可能会有一定的损失。根据语言规范，使用后增量操作符应该创建操作符所作用的值的额外副本。这可能是额外操作的来源。

但是，您应该考虑上述逻辑的两个主要问题。

Modern compilers are great. All good compilers are smart enough to realize that it is seeing an integer increment in a for-loop, and it will optimize both methods to the same efficient code. If using post-increment over pre-increment actually causes your program to have a slower running time, then you are using a terrible compiler. In terms of operational time-complexity, the two methods (even if a copy is actually being performed) are equivalent. The number of instructions being performed inside of the loop should dominate the number of operations in the increment operation significantly. Therefore, in any loop of significant size, the penalty of the increment method will be massively overshadowed by the execution of the loop body. In other words, you are much better off worrying about optimizing the code in the loop rather than the increment.

在我看来，整个问题可以归结为一种风格偏好。如果您认为预增量更具可读性，那么就使用它。就我个人而言，我更喜欢后增量，但这可能是因为这是我在了解优化之前学到的东西。

这是一个典型的过早优化的例子，像这样的问题有可能分散我们对设计中严肃问题的注意力。然而，这仍然是一个很好的问题，因为在“最佳实践”中没有统一的用法或共识。

i++和++ I

这段小代码可能有助于从不同的角度来看待与已经发布的答案的差异:

int i = 10, j = 10;
  
printf ("i is %i \n", i);
printf ("i++ is %i \n", i++);
printf ("i is %i \n\n", i);
  
printf ("j is %i \n", j);
printf ("++j is %i \n", ++j);
printf ("j is %i \n", j);

结果是:

//Remember that the values are i = 10, and j = 10

i is 10 
i++ is 10     //Assigns (print out), then increments
i is 11 

j is 10 
++j is 11    //Increments, then assigns (print out)
j is 11 

注意之前和之后的情况。

for循环

至于在for循环的增量块中应该使用它们中的哪一个，我认为我们能做的最好的决定是使用一个很好的例子:

int i, j;

for (i = 0; i <= 3; i++)
    printf (" > iteration #%i", i);

printf ("\n");

for (j = 0; j <= 3; ++j)
    printf (" > iteration #%i", j);

结果是:

> iteration #0 > iteration #1 > iteration #2 > iteration #3
> iteration #0 > iteration #1 > iteration #2 > iteration #3 

我不知道你怎么想，但我没有看到它的用法有任何不同，至少在for循环中是这样。

下面的C代码片段说明了前后递增和递减操作符之间的区别:

int  i;
int  j;

增量运算符:

i = 1;
j = ++i;    // i is now 2, j is also 2
j = i++;    // i is now 3, j is 2

预填充是指在同一行上的增量。后增量是指行执行后的增量。

int j = 0;
System.out.println(j); // 0
System.out.println(j++); // 0. post-increment. It means after this line executes j increments.

int k = 0;
System.out.println(k); // 0
System.out.println(++k); // 1. pre increment. It means it increments first and then the line executes

当它带有OR和AND操作符时，它变得更有趣。

int m = 0;
if((m == 0 || m++ == 0) && (m++ == 1)) { // False
    // In the OR condition, if the first line is already true
    // then the compiler doesn't check the rest. It is a
    // technique of compiler optimization
    System.out.println("post-increment " + m);
}

int n = 0;
if((n == 0 || n++ == 0) && (++n == 1)) { // True
    System.out.println("pre-increment " + n); // 1
}

在数组中

System.out.println("In Array");
int[] a = { 55, 11, 15, 20, 25 };
int ii, jj, kk = 1, mm;
ii = ++a[1]; // ii = 12. a[1] = a[1] + 1
System.out.println(a[1]); // 12

jj = a[1]++; // 12
System.out.println(a[1]); // a[1] = 13

mm = a[1]; // 13
System.out.printf("\n%d %d %d\n", ii, jj, mm); // 12, 12, 13

for (int val: a) {
     System.out.print(" " + val); // 55, 13, 15, 20, 25
}

在c++中，指针变量的后/前增量

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {

    int x = 10;
    int* p = &x;

    std::cout << "address = " << p <<"\n"; // Prints the address of x
    std::cout << "address = " << p <<"\n"; // Prints (the address of x) + sizeof(int)
    std::cout << "address = " << &x <<"\n"; // Prints the address of x

    std::cout << "address = " << ++&x << "\n"; // Error. The reference can't reassign, because it is fixed (immutable).
}

++i增加值，然后返回该值。

i++返回值，然后使其递增。

这是一个微妙的区别。

对于For循环，使用++i，因为它稍微快一些。i++将创建一个被丢弃的额外副本。
