Frankly I don't know the answer.
This question is given as an assignment in the Lippman textbook.

coz operand++ in c stands for first we do operation and than increment the value....while ++operand stands for increasing the value of operand than having operation in it.....dats why we have the name c++ which is actually have some additional features (mainly classes)....i wud love this ques if they ask me in my interview...

Mate, I hope you were trying to be funny or something.....coz otherwise, this is derogatory.

In any case, this comment does not look very funny in print....kindly refrain from personal attacks. This ain't the forum for that.

PS - think twice before you post, mate.

cheers.

Hi there!

I am really sorry and sincerely apologize for my comments. Anyways let me inform you that my aim was not to make any personal comments. infact I think they are a great quizzing team and it was just not their day. I know for sure that one of those guys bharat ( if i remember his name correctly !) has done pretty well in other quizzes also. I regret my comments and rest assured you would not come across such things in the future from my side.
