Yes.

p++ == p+= 1 == p = p + 1 are all the same if you use it in an assignment.

++p is different if you use it in an assignment. If it's in its own line it won't make much difference.

That's the point I was trying to make.

No.

++p returns incremented p.

p += 1 returns incremented p.

p = p + 1 returns incremented p.

p++ returns p before it is incremented.

Right. So i had them the other way around. :D

Thanks for clarifying.
