Question

What will be the value of of a and b after the execution of the following statement. int a, b=3 a=++b*++b;​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depends on the programming language: the question is not specifying one. Different languages - different rules.

In languages where “+++” is not an operator and both “++” and “+” are, three plusses in a row typically parse as “++ +”, giving “++c++ + c”. In C and C++ and Java, that is ill-formed (cannot be compiled)

If you were to add a space to make that into “++c + ++c”, the resulting expression is undefined in C and C++: the program that attempts to evaluate this is meaningless and any value you may see in a given test (I notice some other answers bring up 24 and 23) is also just noise from a broken program.
