Consider the following C# code:-

int i = 2;
i = i++;
Console.WriteLine(i);

I am getting the output as 2. Why there is no effect of i = i++?

Depending on where you put the +-operators, the value assigned is incremented before or after:

i = ++i;

This way i is counted up before assigned.

i = i++;

This way i is counted up after assigned.
