+ 5

[SOLVED] Please, could you explain how the answer is 35 in this code lines? I think, it must be 42. (6*7)

int a = 5, b, c; b = (a++); c = (++a); cout << b *c;

b=5 //"++" after operand is post increment. post increment means value of a will increase after the current statement is evaluated. c=7

Because a++ is post increment first it will assign value of a to b then it will do increment of 1 in a
