                   return 0;

Answer 1

Output

14 5 8

Explanation

a

The initial value of a is 12. The statement ++a; increases the the value of a to 13.

The statement c=a++ - b; increases the value of a to 14. Therefore the final value of a is 14.

b

The initial value of a is 4. The statement b++; increase the the value of b to 5. Therefore the final value of b is 5.

c

The statement c=a++ - b; uses the previous value of a which is 13, subtract the value of b (5) from it before increasing the value of a. the result is then assigned to c.

Therefore the value of c=13-5 which is equal to 8.
