[Dev-C++] Question about increment..

[Mani <man...@gm...>]

Hi,

I recently to try some toy things in DevC++ (version I am using is 4.9.9.2)

The code I had was this:

    int a = 1, b = 2;
    int c = a++ + b++ + a + b;

    cout << "a = " << a << endl;
    cout << "b = " << b << endl;
    cout << "c = " << c << endl;

I expected the c value to be 8 (by operator precedence, ++ has higher
precedence than +, so do in order:
a++, then b++
then do (a++ + b++)
then add the previous result and a
then add the previous result and b

but the answer I got was 6..

what might be the reason for this..??

thanks, murali
