PowerShell Increment and Decrement Operator

The following are increment and decrement operators in powerShell, example for pre and post increment or decrement, whether you can perform pre-post increment or decrement. But it's really different. Try to understand the code below

$n = 1

# post increment

$a = $n++ # a = 1, n = 2

Write-Host $a $n

# pre increment

$a = ++$n # a = 3, n = 3

Write-Host $a $n

# post decrement

$a = $n-- # a = 3, n = 2

Write-Host $a $n

# pre decrement

$a = --$n # a = 1, n = 1

Write-Host $a $n

Notice the different pre-post increment and decrement. Think about it. Hope the example above can make you understand. Easy right! Leave comment if you guys have feedback and questions.
