Increment operator

[ssharish2005]

Hi all,

    int x=20,y=35; 
    x = y++ + x++;

The value of x after the execution is 56. But from the looks of it i would expect it to be 55. But it seems the x++ (post increment operator) got applied before assigning value back to x. But i'm trying to work around this problem, how could x++ be executed before '=' operator. It seems to me 'x =' is totally a different statment to 'y++ + x++'?

What you are seeing is the result of undefined behavior. See these links on Sequence Points and Sequence Points WIKI.

Your Location is giving you a compile time error about 'fseek' having too few arguments. (And bugging the pedantic in me!)

I find your attempt uninspired and lacking in originality. Also you clearly have no idea why it bugged me, as is reflected in your, dare I use the word, effort. I will however give you a passing grade of a D, just so that I don't have to see you attempt this course again.
