help with c++ program statement

[robasc]

I am trying to determine what the x ++ 5 does I have never seen this before, can anyone tell me what it means:

if ((x == 3) || (x ++ 5))
y++;

This was an answer on my test but I think it is a typo or something because I never seen it before and I got the answer wrong because of it.

I dont think its correct syntax either. Have you created a small program to test this? If you got it "wrong", what is the "right" answer?

I imagine it should be one of "x + 5" or "x++ + 5" instead.

While x ++ 5 is a syntax error (the two symbols form a single increment operator), x + + 5 would be valid (binary plus followed by unary plus).
