* Vs ++ precedence in C

Question

I am not able to understand the output of the following C code :

#include
main()
{
   char * something = \"something\";
   printf(\"%c\", *someth

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operators_in_C_and_C%2B%2B#Operator_precedence for details

printf("%c", *something++);

Gets the char at *something and then increments it ('s')

printf("%c", *something);

Just get the char (now the second, due to the increment in the last statement ('o')

printf("%c", *++something);

increment and then get the char of the new position ( 'm' )

printf("%c", *something++);

Gets the char at *something and then increments it ('m')
