Java explicitly defines the behavior of the above statement, whereas the C standard does not, and leaves it up to the implementation to decide what to do. However, on almost every platform I have access to right at this moment (Windows, Linux, proprietary), printing the value of i after your test statement in both C and Java displayed the original value of i (as expected), not the increment thereof. The one problematic environment that gave the unexpected answer was Visual C++ 6.0 on Windows (gee, Microsoft ignores standard practice? who would a-thunk it); gcc on Windows worked properly. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
