Well, this is simple. The above for loops are semantically equivalent to
int i = 0;
while(i < 5) {
printf("%d", i);
i++;
}
and
int i = 0;
while(i < 5) {
printf("%d", i);
++i;
}
Note that the lines i++; and ++i; have the same semantics FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THIS BLOCK OF CODE. They both have the same effect on the value of i (increment it by one) and therefore have the same effect on the behavior of these loops.
Note that there would be a difference if the loop was rewritten as
int i = 0;
int j = i;
while(j < 5) {
printf("%d", i);
j = ++i;
}
int i = 0;
int j = i;
while(j < 5) {
printf("%d", i);
j = i++;
}
This is because in first block of code j sees the value of i after the increment (i is incremented first, or pre-incremented, hence the name) and in the second block of code j sees the value of i before the increment.
