Hello Cprogramming Community, I need some clarification about this particular code below:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
char phrase[80],*p;
int i,s=0;
gets(phrase);
p=phrase;
while (*p!='\0')
if (*(p++)==' ') s++;
printf("Phrase has %d spaces.\n",s);
return 0;
}
My question is, why p++ will get incremented after the if statement?
Shouldn't it be the opposite?
I really would like some explanation on that behavior here!
Thanks in advance for your time!
