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

    ISO 8601 is good for computers, but as a human i prefer DD/MM/YYYY, which is more convenient for everyday use. USA format is abomination though.

      Many people are ahead used to the DD.MM.YYYY format. They are also already totally ok with the hh:mm:ss format so apparently there’s no problem ascending or descending order. Inconsistency really bothers me, so we should just pick one and stick with it. Preferably the ISO style, if you ask me.

      We read numbers big->small. YYYY>MM>DD

        But when you wanna figure out what day it is, usually the month doesn’t change. I love ISO 8601 as much for programming and sorting as much as the next person, but for close dates for humans, DMY is still pretty good.

          As a human ISO8601 is great. Ambiguity is far far worse, than having to read out a date aloud in an order any other than the order it is habitually spoken.

          No it’s not. Only care about the date in month? Just say the date. Do you care about the month too? Month Day is your answer. Do you care about the full date? Add on the year

            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”.
