I'm a beginner

Question

What is the output of the following code?
int a=3;
int b=2;
b=a++;
cout<<++b;

In this code, is b=2 no longer relevant because b now = the value of a?

Answer 1

b = 3
cout << ++b; -> 4

Answer 2

int a=3; a is 3
int b=2; b is 2
b= a++; b is 3 and a is 4
cout <<++b; cout <<4

Answer 3

Yeah, b=2 is no longer relevant. Once it reaches b=a++, b is equal to three, and then a is incremented by one. So at the third line, a = 4, and b = 3.

Then at the fourth line, b is incremented by one before any operations are done with it. So the output is 4.

Answer 4

Thank you, very helpful
