Description
Increments the value of a variable by 1.
Syntax
x++; // increment x by one and returns the old value of x
++x; // increment x by one and returns the new value of x
Parameter Values
- x: variable. Allowed data types: int, long (possibly unsigned).
Return Values
- The original or newly incremented value of the variable.
Example Code
Example 1
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
int x = 2;
int y = ++x; // x contains 3, y contains 3
Serial.print("x = ");
Serial.println(x);
Serial.print("y = ");
Serial.println(y);
}
void loop() {
}
The result on Serial Monitor:
8
Serial.println("Hello World!");

x = 3
y = 3
Example 2
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
int x = 2;
int y = x++; // x contains 3, but y still contains 2
Serial.print("x = ");
Serial.println(x);
Serial.print("y = ");
Serial.println(y);
}
void loop() {
}
The result on Serial Monitor:
8
Serial.println("Hello World!");
