Episode 8: Decrement operator ( --)

Decrement operator ( -- )

The process of the decrement operator is the same of increment operator but it is reverse. In increment operator, it is increasing variable value one by one and in decrease operator, it is decreasing the value.

Example :

#include<stdio.h> void main() { int var; var = 1; printf(“Using postfix (var--) var = %d\n ”,var--); printf(“Value after decrement is : %d\n ”, var); var = 1; printf(“Usint prefix (--var) var = %d\n”,--var); printf(“Value after decrement is : %d\n”,var); } ………………………………………………………… Output : Using postfix (var--) var = 1 Value after decrement is : 0 Using prefix (--var) var = 0 Value after decrement is : 0
