Question

Given: g = ++p + y++ + ++y + p++ + x++;

If p = 2, y = 3, x = 5 then what will be the value of g?

Options

• 19

• 18

• 20

• 21

Answer 1

19

Explanation:

Given: p = 2, y = 3, x = 5

Expression is interpreted as: g = ++p + y++ + ++y + p++ + x++

Calculation:

• ++p → p becomes 3, value = 3
• y++ → value = 3, then y becomes 4
• ++y → y becomes 5, value = 5
• p++ → value = 3, then p becomes 4
• x++ → value = 5, then x becomes 6

g = 3 + 3 + 5 + 3 + 5 = 19

Therefore, the value of g is 19.
