Increment and Decrement

Exploring '++' operations in JavaScript

Report a typo

Given the JavaScript code snippet:

let x = 5;
let y = x++;
let z = ++x;

What are the values of y and z after these operations and why?

Select one option from the list

'y' is 5 and 'z' is 6 because 'x++' increments 'x' after assigning the value to 'y' and '++x' increments 'x' after assigning the value to 'z'

'y' is 6 and 'z' is 7 because 'x++' increments 'x' before assigning the value to 'y' and '++x' increments 'x' before assigning the value to 'z'

'y' is 5 and 'z' is 7 because 'x++' increments 'x' after assigning the value to 'y' and '++x' increments 'x' before assigning the value to 'z'

'y' is 6 and 'z' is 7 because 'x++' increments 'x' after assigning the value to 'y' and '++x' increments 'x' before assigning the value to 'z'

'y' is 6 and 'z' is 8 because 'x++' increments 'x' after assigning the value to 'y' and '++x' increments 'x' before assigning the value to 'z'
