下面是一个Java-Sample和字节码，后增量和前增量显示字节码没有区别:

public class PreOrPostIncrement {

    static int somethingToIncrement = 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final int rounds = 1000;
        postIncrement(rounds);
        preIncrement(rounds);
    }

    private static void postIncrement(final int rounds) {
        for (int i = 0; i < rounds; i++) {
            somethingToIncrement++;
        }
    }

    private static void preIncrement(final int rounds) {
        for (int i = 0; i < rounds; ++i) {
            ++somethingToIncrement;
        }
    }
}

现在对于字节码(javap -private -c PreOrPostIncrement):

public class PreOrPostIncrement extends java.lang.Object{
static int somethingToIncrement;

static {};
Code:
0:  iconst_0
1:  putstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
4:  return

public PreOrPostIncrement();
Code:
0:  aload_0
1:  invokespecial   #15; //Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
4:  return

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
Code:
0:  sipush  1000
3:  istore_1
4:  sipush  1000
7:  invokestatic    #21; //Method postIncrement:(I)V
10: sipush  1000
13: invokestatic    #25; //Method preIncrement:(I)V
16: return

private static void postIncrement(int);
Code:
0:  iconst_0
1:  istore_1
2:  goto    16
5:  getstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
8:  iconst_1
9:  iadd
10: putstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
13: iinc    1, 1
16: iload_1
17: iload_0
18: if_icmplt   5
21: return

private static void preIncrement(int);
Code:
0:  iconst_0
1:  istore_1
2:  goto    16
5:  getstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
8:  iconst_1
9:  iadd
10: putstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
13: iinc    1, 1
16: iload_1
17: iload_0
18: if_icmplt   5
21: return

}

正如@Jon B所说，在for循环中没有区别。

但在一段时间或做…While循环，如果你与++i或i++进行比较，你会发现一些不同

while(i++ < 10) { ... } //compare then increment

while(++i < 10) { ... } //increment then compare

下面是一个Java-Sample和字节码，后增量和前增量显示字节码没有区别:

public class PreOrPostIncrement {

    static int somethingToIncrement = 0;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        final int rounds = 1000;
        postIncrement(rounds);
        preIncrement(rounds);
    }

    private static void postIncrement(final int rounds) {
        for (int i = 0; i < rounds; i++) {
            somethingToIncrement++;
        }
    }

    private static void preIncrement(final int rounds) {
        for (int i = 0; i < rounds; ++i) {
            ++somethingToIncrement;
        }
    }
}

现在对于字节码(javap -private -c PreOrPostIncrement):

public class PreOrPostIncrement extends java.lang.Object{
static int somethingToIncrement;

static {};
Code:
0:  iconst_0
1:  putstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
4:  return

public PreOrPostIncrement();
Code:
0:  aload_0
1:  invokespecial   #15; //Method java/lang/Object."<init>":()V
4:  return

public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
Code:
0:  sipush  1000
3:  istore_1
4:  sipush  1000
7:  invokestatic    #21; //Method postIncrement:(I)V
10: sipush  1000
13: invokestatic    #25; //Method preIncrement:(I)V
16: return

private static void postIncrement(int);
Code:
0:  iconst_0
1:  istore_1
2:  goto    16
5:  getstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
8:  iconst_1
9:  iadd
10: putstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
13: iinc    1, 1
16: iload_1
17: iload_0
18: if_icmplt   5
21: return

private static void preIncrement(int);
Code:
0:  iconst_0
1:  istore_1
2:  goto    16
5:  getstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
8:  iconst_1
9:  iadd
10: putstatic   #10; //Field somethingToIncrement:I
13: iinc    1, 1
16: iload_1
17: iload_0
18: if_icmplt   5
21: return

}

是的，有。区别在于返回值。"++i"的返回值将是加i之后的值。"i++"的返回值将是加i之前的值。这意味着代码看起来像下面这样:

int a = 0;
int b = ++a; // a is incremented and the result after incrementing is saved to b.
int c = a++; // a is incremented again and the result before incremening is saved to c.

因此，a等于2,b和c都等于1。

我可以像这样重写代码:

int a = 0; 

// ++a;
a = a + 1; // incrementing first.
b = a; // setting second. 

// a++;
c = a; // setting first. 
a = a + 1; // incrementing second. 

我不知道其他语言，但在java++中，I是一个前缀增量，这意味着:将I增加1，然后在I所在的表达式中使用I的新值，i++是一个后缀增量，这意味着:在表达式中使用I的当前值，然后将其增加1。 例子:

public static void main(String [] args){

    int a = 3;
    int b = 5;
    System.out.println(++a);
    System.out.println(b++);
    System.out.println(b);

｝ 输出为:

4 5 6

我很奇怪为什么这么多人把for循环中的增量表达式写成i++。

在for循环中，当第三个组件是一个简单的增量语句时，例如

for (i=0; i<x; i++)  

or

for (i=0; i<x; ++i)   

结果执行没有区别。
