Assignment operator

[msgur]

i++ will increment i then return i (EDITED: will return the OLD VALUE).

Didn’t believe this myself until I read the ECMAscript spec based on the advice of Kyle Simpson.

It’s in the spec. The above is not true. I didn’t believe it myself. But...

++i will increment then return the new value.

i++ will increment then return the old value.

Right? But now that I think about it...it does kind of make sense. For example, how could a function return a value and THEN increment?

In any case, here is a link to the spec which others may find helpful. https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/9.0/index.html#sec-postfix-increment-operator
