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

      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.

        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”.

            Sorry for the late response. Written and spoken order can be different (ie. $2 is pronounced two dollars and not dollar two)

            2024-09-20 can be wordy:

            In the year of 2024, in the 9th month, on the 20th day.

        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.
