According to syntax postfix increment returns copy of unmodified variable (C++ == C), while prefix increment returns incremented variable (++C == C + 1).

++C would make the language totally irrelevant in alphanumeric listings of languages
After simply managing a point of sale system for a retail chain, I hate you for even suggesting this./s It is almost as bad as all the insane ideas about date notation. The only correct notation is YYYY/MM/DD.
ISO 8601 is good for computers, but as a human i prefer DD/MM/YYYY, which is more convenient for everyday use. USA format is abomination though.
We read numbers big->small. YYYY>MM>DD
But when you wanna figure out what day it is, usually the month doesn’t change. I love ISO 8601 as much for programming and sorting as much as the next person, but for close dates for humans, DMY is still pretty good.
No it’s not. Only care about the date in month? Just say the date. Do you care about the month too? Month Day is your answer. Do you care about the full date? Add on the year
Saying it out loud and using a worded date in this order is what I mean. English simply does not support “Twenty Twenty-four September Twenty” or “2024 September 20”.
Sorry for the late response. Written and spoken order can be different (ie. $2 is pronounced two dollars and not dollar two)
2024-09-20 can be wordy:
In the year of 2024, in the 9th month, on the 20th day.
Yeah, $2 can also be transliterated, whereupon it becomes “two dollars”; 2024-09-20 can also be transliterated, wherein there are two major competing orders: DMY and MDY. And I agree that other major orders are too wordy, and that’s sort of my point.
4 decades too late with this. You’re not the first.
