Question

What is the value of x and y at the comment here?

int main() {
    int x = 5;
    int y = 10;
    int z = ++x + y--;//here
    cout &lt;&lt; &quot;The sum is: &quot; &lt;&lt; z &lt;&lt; endl;
    return 0;
}

Solution

At the comment "here", the value of x is 6 and the value of y is 10.

Here's why:

In the line of code int z = ++x + y--;, the ++x is a pre-increment operation and y-- is a post-decrement operation.

The pre-increment operation (++x) increases the value of x by 1 before the operation is performed. So, x which was initially 5 becomes 6.

The post-decrement operation (y--) decreases the value of y by 1, but only after the operation is performed. So, at this line of code, y is still 10. It will become 9 only after this line of code.
