(the value before the subtraction).
Example
The following example shows the pre-decrement form of the operator, decrementing
to 2 (
aWidth - 1 = 2
aWidth = 3;
bWidth = --aWidth;
// The bWidth value is equal to 2.
The next example shows the post-decrement form of the operator decrementing
( ) and returning the original value of
aWidth - 1 = 2
aWidth = 3;
bWidth = aWidth--;
// The bWidth value is equal to 3.
