Pre- vs. Post-Increment

I will finish this section by looking at the last of the special cases: the pre- and post-increment operators (++) and their

myNumber = myNumber + 1;
myNumber += myNumber;

Another way that you can achieve the same result as the preceding two techniques is as follows:

myNumber = ++myNumber;
