What is the output of this C code?    

int main()
    {
        int i = 0;
        int j = i++ + i;
        printf("%d\n", j);
    }

 

  • A.1
  • B.2
  • C.Compile time error

Answer: A

Correct answer: 1

With i starting at 0, i++ contributes 0 and leaves i as 1, and the second operand then reads 1, giving \(0 + 1 = 1\). Strictly this expression reads i in one operand while modifying it in the other with no sequence point between, which the standard leaves undefined; 1 is what mainstream compilers produce, but the expression should be split into two statements.
