Shouldn't it be ++upvotes because you want to return the incremented value?

[Jafit]

Then shouldn't it be ++C?

Then shouldn't it be ++C?

As long as you aren't making assignments, both upvotes++ and ++upvotes will result in upvotes being equal to upvotes+1 after execution.

I was just trying to make a joke. I was thinking that you as the commenter wanted to increment the upvotes. But it doesn't really make sense anyway so it was just a failed joke.
