I think one rule of thumb for reading pre and post increment operators is

1) For Pre - Increment the value and use it (++x)
2) For Post - Use the value and increment it (x++)

Similar is for pre and post decrement.

I am not very good at commenting the generality of above but in simple
usages like below, the above work well for me.
