Next LUG meet: 11 Oct 2003 around 4 pm - VJTI Mech Dept -------------------------------------------------------
i came across a peculiar problem in C:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ float a = 2.5, b = 2.5; printf ( " %f " , b++ / a + b-- ) ; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ the weirdest part is that it gives different answers depending on the compiler used: gcc (2.95.2) :- 3.5 turbo C :- 4.5 jdk1.4 (gnu/linux) :- 4.5 my problem is, if such / similar question arises in gate (IIT entrance exam for M.Tech), what should i write? any help regarding the actual concept of solving problems similar to the above will be greatly appreciated. p.s.: Let Us C - yeshwant kanithkar -> appendix A (precedence of operators) -> increment/decrement operators, says that increment/decrement operators act from right to left. what does that mean? thank you for all the help ;-)
