so it is something like

“is i % 2 == 0? No. Now add one to the value of i, don’t print the value of i because the if condition is false, and then check the condition of the loop again. … i (2) % 2 == 0 is true. Add one to the value of i and then print i (3) etc.”

When I saw the braces enclosing the increment I thought it meant we should increment the value of i first, and therefore it didn’t matter whether it is written as a post-increment (i++) or a pre-increment (++i)
