[shalin]

Hi all

here is small C program
main()
{
int i=2;
printf("%d\n",++i * ++i * ++i * ++i);
}

it gives o/p 480 why..?

Thanks for u r reply.

it is wrong to do such expression (assign the same variable (i) in a single operation more than onetime) it gives a machine dependent result

Actually this kind of problems are compiler dependent. Try in different types of compilers. You will see different answers.
