Yeah, but why is it better form (I am coming from Java where it shouldn't make any difference)?

  It's better form to not ask for a characteristic that you don't need. For example: 1. increment x 2. take the value of x, then increment x (1) is better form if you don't need the value of x.

    I just checked in Java, it is: 1. increment x, then take the value of x 2. take the value of x, then increment x Both are expressions in Java returning a value. My C is very rusty but I remember it being the same in C.
