++ Operator (C# Reference)

The increment operator (++) increments its operand by 1. The increment operator can appear before or after its operand:

The first form is a prefix increment operation. The result of the operation is the value of the operand after it has been incremented.

The second form is a postfix increment operation. The result of the operation is the value of the operand before it has been incremented.

Numeric and enumeration types have predefined increment operators. User-defined types can overload the ++ operator. Operations on integral types are generally allowed on enumeration.

C#
class MainClass
{
    static void Main()
    {
        double x;
        x = 1.5;
        Console.WriteLine(++x);
        x = 1.5;
        Console.WriteLine(x++);
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
}
/*
Output
2.5
1.5
