                Has anyone compile the code? Do it and you will find '3' is the answer.

                step 1: i-3;
step 2: i= i; than i++;
step 3: i++ => i=i+1;
so i=4;
                step 2: i= i; than i++;
step 3: i++ => i=i+1;
so i=4;

                @Anjena the answer will be:.
7 9 5 7 (evaluate from right to left).
                7 9 5 7 (evaluate from right to left).

                In post increment i value get incremented in the next step only.

                No, The correct answer is 3 because it is i-- (post-increment).

                According to me, the answer is 3. Run the code in the compiler.

                It's a post increment and the value of i will be added before.

                As I get the output as 3. I compiled using GCC compiler.

                It's a post-increment. So the right answer is 3.
                
                     (4)

                As I compiled, I am getting 3 as an output.
