X=5,y=6 then what value of x and y will be used in int c= x+++y+++x,

Please tell me the values during execution of the equation not after the operation.

x= 5 y = 6 int c = (x++) + (y++) + x in above equation value for your variables are int c = (5) + (6) + 6 int c = 17

The result is Undefined behaviour. The expression x+++y+++x will indeed be translated to ((x++)+(y++))+x: x+++y+++x // Original expression (x++)+(y++)+x // Operator precedence (links: (1)) ((x++)+(y++))+x // Operator associativity (links: (1), (2), (4)) But the order of the operands' evaluation is unspecified (see link (1) — first paragraphs and UB examples like: "n = ++i + i"). So there may be two possible outcomes of evaluation (and few more ways to achieve them): 1) ((x++)+(y++))+x => (5+(y++))+x => (5+6)+x => (5+6)+6 => 11+6 => 17 2) ((x++)+(y++))+x => ((x++)+(y++))+5 => ((x++)+6)+5 => (5+6)+5 => 11+5 => 16 Links: (1) http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/eval_order (2) http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_precedence (3) http://c-faq.com/expr/index.html (4) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operator_associativity (5) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_point
