Given the expression

x = 5
and
y = ++x + ++x,
what are the final values of x and y?

Solution

The expression you've given seems to be in a C-like language, but it's important to note that the "++x" syntax is a pre-increment operation, which means it increments the value of x before the rest of the expression is evaluated.

Let's break it down:

  1. We start with x = 5.

  2. The first ++x increments x by 1, so x is now 6.

  3. The second ++x increments x again, so x is now 7.

  4. y is then assigned the value of the sum of the two incremented x values (6 + 7), so y = 13.

So, the final values are x = 7 and y = 13.
