Int x=4; Int y=2; Cout<<x++*y--;

Question

Can anyone tell me output of this code with explanation .
I'm trying to understand but still confusing in question

Answer 1

x++: Increases x by 1, but returns the original value 4.
y--: Decreases y by 1, but returns the original value 2.

x++*y-- = 4*2 = 8

Answer 2

++x: Increases x by 1 and returns the new value 5.
--y: Decreases y by 1 and returns the new value 1.

++x*--y = 5*1 = 5

Answer 3

Ok got it thank you sir

Answer 4

Oh sorry I read that by votes, I was answering your second question in the comments

Answer 5

Ohk my mistake 😅

Answer 6

As both x and y are post incremented or decremented , so the value assigned first and then gets incremented or decremented, so in cout statement value of x (i.e. 4) and y (i.e. 2) is used and then gets incremented and decremented respectively, hence results in 8.

Answer 7

2*4=8

Answer 8

8 since it is postfix,use the original values before u increment x and decrement y .

Answer 9

8 as you use post increment

Answer 10

8

Answer 11

It's answer is 8

Answer 12

First you multiply 2 and 4 and print 8
The reason:
In c++ it does the prefix then the math then the postfix so in this case it did the math then the postfix so if you tried to print out x value after that it will give you 5 and if you did the same for y it will give you 1.

Answer 13

4*2=8. Post increment/decrement occurs after the expression is evaluated and output.

Answer 14

The answer is 4*2=8

Answer 15

X is incremented before multiplying to y and same goes for y. Answer is 5

Answer 16

Wrong answer is 8

Answer 17

Answer = 8.
causes, That's happen post increment and post decrement.

Answer 18

x=5
y=2
case1:
cout<<++x*--y; //6*1=6

after evaluation x=6,y=1

case2:
cout<<x++*y--; //5*2=10

after evaluation x=6,y=1

Answer 19

8

Answer 20

Becoz in this there is post increment and Decrement operator .so it take values increase and decrease of only x and y after the multiplication.
