x++ is the post increment operation
++x is the preincrement operation.
So, the value of x is returned prior to the increment. If you can actual examine the code on some systems, there never is an increment operation because the optimizer will notice the post operation and not include it in the executable code.

int sample()
//tells me the return type is int and the method name is sample, with empty parenthesis tells me nothing is being passed into method.
int x=0;
tells me you declared a type int, assigned a variable called x to it, and gave it a value of 0
return x++
will return the value of x and then increment it.
Unless you do ++x
