How do Prefix (++x) and Postfix (x++) operations work?

问题 Can someone tell me how prefix / postfix operators really work? I've been looking online a lot but haven't found anything. From what I can tell prefex first increments, then does the operation and then assigns. Postfix would do the operation first, then assign and then increment. But I'm having a bit of trouble with my code: int x, y; x = 1; y = x + x++; // (After operation y = 2)(x=2) However when I do: y = x++ + x; // (After operation y = 3)(x=2) I'm not sure why these operations would be

问题 Wikipedia says that: In computer science, an operation, function or expression is said to have a side effect if it modifies some state variable value(s) outside its local environment, that is to say has an observable effect besides returning a value (the main effect) to the invoker of the operation. But how can we access a variable outside its local environment, can anyone explain this situation, side effect, main effect and sequence point comprehensibly? 回答1: A function is (should be) a

What's the consequence of a sequence-point “immediately before a library function returns”?

问题 In this recent question, some code was shown to have undefined behavior : a[++i] = foo(a[i-1], a[i]); because even though the actual call of foo() is a sequence point , the assignment is unsequenced , so you don't know whether the function is called after the side-effect of ++i took place or before that. Thinking further about this, the sequence point at a function call only guarantees that side effects from evaluating the function arguments are carried out once the function is entered, e.g.
