    Lightbulb need some help for precedence

    If "ar" is a pointer to an element in the array, then what does the following statement do?
    Code:
    *(ar++)*=2;
    the precedence thing is driving me crazy, where can I find some detailed introduction to it on the internet? thanks a lot.

    Why don't you just make a piece of sample code and see what it does? Then once you have the results, try to figure out if it's doing what you thought it would.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    Code:
    *(p) *= 2;
    the above statement is more similar to what u have got. because the ++ operator is post increment operator. Will that make it easy for u to understand now.
