在这两种情况下，'i'将加1。

但是当你在表达式中使用它时，就有区别了，例如:

int i = 1;
int a = ++i;
// i is incremented by one and then assigned to a.
// Both i and a are now 2.
int b = i++;
// i is assigned to b and then incremented by one.
// b is now 2, and i is now 3

一个(++i)是前增量，一个(i++)是后增量。区别在于表达式立即返回什么值。

// Psuedocode
int i = 0;
print i++; // Prints 0
print i; // Prints 1
int j = 0;
print ++j; // Prints 1
print j; // Prints 1

编辑:哎呀，完全忽略了循环方面的事情。在for循环中，当它是'step'部分(for(…;…。))，但它也可以在其他情况下发挥作用。

要理解FOR循环的作用

上图显示FOR可以转换为WHILE，因为它们最终具有完全相同的汇编代码(至少在gcc中)。所以我们可以把FOR分解成几部分，来理解它的功能。

for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
  DoSomethingA();
  DoSomethingB();
}

等于WHILE版本

i = 0; //first argument (a statement) of for
while (i < 5 /*second argument (a condition) of for*/) {
  DoSomethingA();
  DoSomethingB();
  ++i; //third argument (another statement) of for
}

It means that you can use FOR as a simple version of WHILE: The first argument of FOR (int i) is executed, outside, before the loop. The third argument of FOR (i++ or ++i) is executed, inside, in the last line of the loop. TL:DR: no matter whether i++ or ++i, we know that when they are standalone, they make no difference but +1 on themselves. In school, they usually teach the i++ way, but there are also lots of people prefer the ++i way due to several reasons. NOTE: In the past, i++ has very little impact on the performance, as it does not only plus one by itself, but also keeps the original value in the register. But for now, it makes no difference as the compiler makes the plus one part the same.

正如这段代码所示(请参阅注释中拆解的MSIL)， c# 3编译器在for循环中不区分i++和++i。如果取i++或++i的值，肯定会有区别(这是在visual Studio 2008 / Release Build中编译的):

namespace PreOrPostIncrement
{
    class Program
    {
        static int SomethingToIncrement;

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            PreIncrement(1000);
            PostIncrement(1000);
            Console.WriteLine("SomethingToIncrement={0}", SomethingToIncrement);
        }

            } // end of method Program::PreIncrement             
             */
            for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i)
            {
                ++SomethingToIncrement;
            }
        }

        static void PostIncrement(int count)
        {
            /*
                .method private hidebysig static void  PostIncrement(int32 count) cil managed
                {

                  IL_000a:  add
                  IL_000b:  stsfld     int32 PreOrPostIncrement.Program::SomethingToIncrement

                  IL_0012:  add

                } // end of method Program::PostIncrement
             */
            for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
            {
                SomethingToIncrement++;
            }
        }
    }
}

在这两种情况下，'i'将加1。

但是当你在表达式中使用它时，就有区别了，例如:

int i = 1;
int a = ++i;
// i is incremented by one and then assigned to a.
// Both i and a are now 2.
int b = i++;
// i is assigned to b and then incremented by one.
// b is now 2, and i is now 3

对于循环可能会有不同。这是后增量/前增量的实际应用。

        int i = 0;
        while(i++ <= 10) {
            Console.Write(i);
        }
        Console.Write(System.Environment.NewLine);

        i = 0;
        while(++i <= 10) {
            Console.Write(i);
        }
        Console.ReadLine();

虽然第一个数到11，循环11次，但第二个不是。

这通常用于简单的while(x——> 0);- -循环迭代数组中的所有元素(这里不包括foreach-construct)。
