Re: Strange processing!!

Hello Anju

I tried your code on VC++ 6.0 and it gave me 22 when
a=5. I then tried with couple of more values ... e.g.
for a=8 it gave me b=31.

The reason is ..... when u say ++a + ++a + ++a,
compiler first calculates ++a + ++a.

In this case if a is 5 then ++a => 6 and one more ++a
makes a = 7 ...so (++a + ++a) => (7 + 7) => 14 and
then it goes for third ++a so 

14 + (++a) ..at this moment value of a is 7 ... so
first it will increast a (so it will become 8 now) and
then add .... so 14 + (++a) => 14 + (8) = > 22.

you can try for other values as well .... even on gcc
it gives 22. 

I tried this on VC++ 7.0 as well ... in that case I
got b = 24 ... here it calculaes ++a in all 3 exp.
(which ultimately makes a =8) and then simply adds it
3 times ... :)

Well ...I told u how it does that but I don't know why
it does that :D :D ..experts ...pls guide us ... :D

cheers
