Is there a difference between the two expressions:
(*x)++
and
++(*x)
I can see both of these statements replace the contents of (*x+1) in *x. But are there any differences between them?

One increments the values stored in
xbefore it is used (pre), while the other does it after it is used (post).Also note that
++(*x)is not the same as(*x + 1). The first increments the value and stores it back, the other just increments the value.
