No.
We have x++ and ++x, which do different things (post increment 
and pre increment).
++x is equivalent to x += 1. So pure logic requires that x++ 
cannot be equivalent to x += 1. (And semantics says also it 
should not).

This is the funny part of the name C++
It means literally it's the same as C, the value is only 
incremented after use :-)
++C would have been a better name.
