Weird! My first thought is "I always want the returned value after the incrementation". But, then again, I always use `i++`. So, I guess it hasn't been an issue for me. Any example where you'd want the "returned value" rather than just referencing the updated value of `i`?

Great explanation thanks! Like other I am just wondering what the use case for this is, as I have never encountered an issue using i++ eg. in a for loop. Could you give an example of when you would use ++i ?
