tricky output ???

[onkar]

#include<stdio. h>
int main(void){
int i=5;
printf("%d %d %d %d %d\n",i++,i--,++i,--i,i);
return 0;
}


This gives me : 4 5 5 5 5

How ???

Can anyone please give me some hint as to why I am getting this ??

Thanks & regards,
Onkar

The FAQ for this newsgroup is at <http://www.c-faq.com/>.

You desperately need to read section 3. (Then read the rest of it.)

it should be blatantly obvious why he doesn't think this is right. The
fact he would be wrong is besides the point.

This guy is doubtless a troll. He keeps posting such stupid questions
even after months of being told about the FAQ.

But, until one starts to think about "why" he thinks the answer
should be what he thinks it should be, you cannot explain to him
the flaws in his thinking.

In fact, his answer to my question gave me a clue as to what he was
thinking. He might equally have said: 5 6 6 5 5, in which case my answer
would have been slightly different.

As usual, Richard Riley is sniping ignorantly, caustically, and
uncomprehending ly at people who are actually supplying help, instead of
taking the risk of supplying help himself to those who are asking for it.
He may safely be ignored, since he never contributes anything useful.
