According to syntax postfix increment returns copy of unmodified variable (C++ == C), while prefix increment returns incremented variable (++C == C + 1).

    Saying it out loud and using a worded date in this order is what I mean. English simply does not support “Twenty Twenty-four September Twenty” or “2024 September 20”.

      Sorry for the late response. Written and spoken order can be different (ie. $2 is pronounced two dollars and not dollar two)

      2024-09-20 can be wordy:

      In the year of 2024, in the 9th month, on the 20th day.

        Yeah, $2 can also be transliterated, whereupon it becomes “two dollars”; 2024-09-20 can also be transliterated, wherein there are two major competing orders: DMY and MDY. And I agree that other major orders are too wordy, and that’s sort of my point.
