Can you explain this code ... . . .. !
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int i=1,a;
a = ++i + (++i)++ + ++i ;
printf("%d",a);
}
How the middle 'i' is being calculated..

I dont think you compiler is going to like this, I have not written the code as yet, but then I do think that post increment is going to make some troubles with this program.
As a thumb rule, modifying any statement more than once without a sequence point will lead to undefined results in C.
in your case you have modified i multiple times without a sequence point, this will cause
sequence point ambiguity.
The best thing is, you can write your code in some other language except for C++ say in a Java, find out your result and let us know if they are same or not.

@simplycoder... I have compiled this code in Turbo C++ and it's giving me 14 as output...but I can't make it out the actual calculating procedure..

Friends have you compiled the code ,,,,,, I have compiled in both Turbo C++ and borland C++ . I am getting the same
answer as 14 . .. Are you people got the same answer or having any error...??
@simplycoder: I have compiled the same code after writing in java ... and I am getting 4 error.. But I am not concern about java compiler
As java and C compilers are different so the result is different but I have written this code in C and I am getting answer as
14. Are you compiled this code in C ? Are you getting any error ?

I am getting the post-increment errors as I pointed out.

I dont really get you on this note. AFAIK, this is sequence point error.
You can try the expression : a = ++i + ++i + ++i; in java and c. This wont give you any error, but surely will give you different answers.

That what I wanted to say you in my above lines....
In java It is giving me ---- 9
but in C ------------------12
In C I understood the concept..It first increases the pre-increment of ' i ' and then placed to evaluate the expression..(Correct me if wrong)
Can you explain me what is concept in java...? How 9 output is been shown in java....

@TheV: surprisingly, for me in on my devC++, its 10 from C program.
this is the sequence point ambiguity.
java works in the same way in case of increment.
but then for C its just sequence point ambiguity. check for google on the same for sequence point ambiguity.

Hi simply coder ...... 😀
your Tutorials are really Helpful.. and thanking you for your Efforts....
have a question regarding the sample program given in 16 th tutorial(Menu Driven program)...
>> in your program the
printf("ANSWER :: %lf\n",answer);
is placed out side the Switch , its ok when when the case 1 to 4 occurs 😀
but when the Default case is executed , it also prints the answer
!
i think it will be better if the printf is placed inside each cases ,(but then we have to type it 4 times 😔 )
any other suggestion??

@H.Ali: Yeah, you are correct. My Bad.
I think we have to place printf you are correct. We should print it 4 times. That is very easy and nothing new is to be learnt.
thanks for pointing it out.

Hello everyone, I am simplycoder and welcome to C-programing discussions.
In this thread, you can post your questions and I shall try to answer them to best of my knowledge.
I prefer the questions which are parallel to the thread dedicated to tutorials,but I shall answer any question which I think I can.
So just shoot the questions, some one would answer your questions sooner or later as this forum has a lot of good programers.
hi simply coder......i am from production engg. and i will have to face and campus drive in coming month. Tcs is coming for campus..they want us to have a fundamental knowledge of a language...can u help me to learn the basic of c.

You can refer the tutorial which I wrote on this forum,
Pointers is an important topic left uncovered in tutorial.
Hopefully soon I shall get some time to start writing from where I left.
For book I suggest <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_C_Programming_Language" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The C Programming Language</a> nice book, and a must read for insights of the language.
If you have some doubt or stuck in analysis, post it down here.

void main()
{
int i=1,a;
a = ++i + (++i)++ + ++i ;
printf("%d",a);
}
How the middle 'i' is being calculated..
the i modification statements are undefined. Different compilers may produce different outputs which cannot be judged. The pre-, -post increments are not supposed to be used in this way since the main reason for using the increments is controlling the loops. The above snippet causes ambiguity or confusion to the compiler as the same value is being incremented in several ways. hence, different compilers produce different outputs!

by the way, your code just needs a quoted %d in printf() statement, everything is fine after that. haha 😁

in C, 0 stands for false.. and any other number means true..
so whenever the condition is true, if block statement will be executed, else the else part..
you've give 3 numbers 2,1,0
since 0 stands for false, and o/p is no;
if you just write 2,1,4,5,6,7....(non zero, non-negetive)
then o/p will be yes

z-=x--;
x-=--x - x--;

on paper i solved
x = -8

Ans should be
x=6,y=1,z=1
Initially x=y=z=10
then applying post(use then change) and pre(change then use) decrement, this answer is obtained.😒

I think calculating the value of z and y is not a big deal, still I'll explain..
after 1st line x=y=z => x = 10, y = 10, z = 10
second step is y -= --x viz. equal to y = y - --x i.e. y = 10 - 9 (according to what rahul69 said, pre-decrement is done first and then the value is assigned)
so, y = 1 and present values of x = 9 , y = 1 , z = 10
in third step, z = z - x-- i.e. z = 10 - 9 (since post decrement, x value is assigned first and then x is decremented)
so, z = 1 present values are x = 8 , y = 1 , z = 1
forth step, x = x - (--x - x--) i.e. x = x - (7 - 7) (hope you understood why i've written 7 - 7)
i've not written the value of x in above statement because after the calculation of
(--x - x--) {bracketed part is calculated first because of the precedence rule} the value of x changes to 6
so, x = 6
therefore, your answer is x = 6, y = 1, z = 1

you can try tracing and adding a watch to the following code to understand the things
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int x=10,y,z;
z=y=x;
y-=--x;
z-=x--;
int a =--x; //calculation of x broken into 3 parts
int b =x--;
int c = x - (a - b);
printf("x=%d y=%d z=%d",x,y,z);
return 0;
}
