How is x ++ different from ++ x?

Question

I am currently studying Dynamics AX 2012 X ++ developer e-learning and asking a question about the X ++ language, which is not obvious from the documentation.

In one place it is said that x++they are ++xexactly the same. However, it also has this statement, which states the priority of the operator :

• postfix operators []. (params) expr ++ expr -

• unary operators ++ expr - expr + expr - expr ~!

That is, they are equivalent, except for the priority of the operator, or do I not understand something?

Or the fact that ++ / - is used only in operators, and not in expressions, completely displays all this irrelevant ?

Answer 1

According to the X ++ documentation. The operator "++" can only be used as an operator. This restriction effectively exceeds any operator precedence rules. My interpretation is that the “++” operator was included in the X ++ prioritization documentation for completeness.
