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

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".
