What do the '++' and '--' operators represent?

Addition and subtraction
Multiplication and division
Auto-increment and auto-decrement
Comparison for equality and inequality

The correct answer is: Auto-increment and auto-decrement

The '++' and '--' operators are used to add or subtract one from a numerical value. This is known as auto-increment and auto-decrement, respectively. Option A is incorrect because the plus and minus symbols are commonly used for addition and subtraction operations. Option B is incorrect because the '*' symbol is used for multiplication, and the '/' symbol is used for division. Option D is incorrect because the '++' and '--' operators are not used for comparison purposes. They are used strictly for incrementing or decrementing values.
