hi i have a doubt. consider i as a intiger variable. then what is the
meaning of statement i+=1;
See K&R2, page 50, or Deitel & Deitel (5th edition), page 85, or Harbison &
Steele (4th edition), page 223 - or if you have some other reference book,
simply look up += in your C book's index. If you don't have a C reference
book, get one - preferably one of the above, or "C Programming: A Modern
Approach" by K N King (which I don't actually have, but apparently it's
very good).

This is functionally equivalent to the three statements below:
i = i + 1;
i++;
++i;
Specifically, it is a shorthand notation for the first one. Others are:
x /= y; (for x = x / y;)
x -= y; (for x = x - y;)
x *= y; (for x = x * y;)
x %= y; (for x = x % y;)
x >>= y; (for x = x >y;)
x <<= y; (for x = x << y;)
x &= y; (for x = x & y;)
x |= y; (for x = x | y;)
x ^= y; (for x = x ^ y;)
These shorthand operators are called as assignment operators.
Look them up in your textbook or reference.

yes they are very good

Yes, you are right. I should have said "effectivel y" instead
of "functional ly", and qualified that it was only for the particular
case presented by the OP.

You should feel ashamed for asking so simple question!
Meaningless.
If you want to post a followup via groups.google.c om, ensure
you quote enough for the article to make sense. Google is only
an interface to Usenet; it's not Usenet itself. Don't assume
your readers can, or ever will, see any previous articles.

Yes, you are right. I should have said "effectivel y" instead

However, if (i) were to be defined as a macro
for an lvalue with side effects, then
i+=1;
would mean exactly the same thing as either
i++;
or
++i;
but not exactly the same thing as
i = i + 1;
