It's a pre-increment operator. If it was called ++C you'd have a point :)

I just don't understand how someone could have been working in C++ and not picked up the largest changes even just by osmosis. My code-based "upgraded" to C++11 about a year ago, but I can still read C++17 and am not intimidated by C++20 fragments. YMMV I suppose.

++C = Every time you go to write new code, some new features have already been adopted that you need to get hip with.

C++ = Every time you look at old code, it is already out of date based on new features that were adopted after the code was written.
