Discussion Forum : Strings - Find Output of Program (Q.No. 13)
13.
What will be the output of the program ?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    static char s[25] = "The cocaine man";
    int i=0;
    char ch;
    ch = s[++i];
    printf("%c", ch);
    ch = s[i++];
    printf("%c", ch);
    ch = i++[s];
    printf("%c", ch);
    ch = ++i[s];
    printf("%c", ch);
    return 0;
}
hhe!
he c
The c
Hhec

Guys! can you tell me the difference between ++i and i++?

What is the difference between static and char?

Here if we don't mention static what happened in program can any one explain?

Can anyone explain the difference between i++[s] and ++i[s] ?

s[3] is the space in the string "The cocaine mam" i.e
s[0]==T
s[1]==h
s[2]==e
s[3]==(space) so the ascii value for space was 32,

Since ++i[s] == ++ (i[s]) == ++ (s[i])== ++ (s[3]), so ++(32)==33.

ASCII value 33 will print === !
(1)

In the last statement ++i[s] is 33. I didn't understand explanation of this statement.

//Remember %c for number means it will print equivalent ASCII value//.

I=0; s[++i] ==> s[1] ==> h.

I=1; s[i++] ==> s[1] ==> h /*Since it is post increment no change to inside i*/.

I=2; i++[s] ==> (i++) [s] ==> s[i++] ==> s[2] ==>e /*post increment to I */.

I=3; ++i[s] ==> ++ (i[s]) ==> ++ (s[i]) ==> ++ (s[3]) ==> ++ (32) ==> 33.

==> ASCII value of 33 !

S[3] is nothing but "space" in the given string. ASCII value for "space" is 32.

It was incremented by 1. So 32+1=33.

ASCII value of 33 will be print.

I didn't understand it clearly can anyone explain it?

s[++i] = given i=0 ++i means 0+1 therefore s[1]=h.

s[i++] = s[1] itself because post increment therefore s[1]=h.

i++[s] = s[i+1] as now i=1 increment i => 1+1=2 s[2]=e.

++i[s] = ++(s[i]) => ++s[2] => 33(ascii value ) so !.

What is the actual explanation. Please explain it clearly for each line. What is ASCII value. How you are calculating it. Tell me clearly?

int i=0;
std::cout<<i++;
//Adds 1 to i, but output i's value before adding.

int a=0;
std::cout<<++a;
//Adds 1 to a, but output a's value after adding.(Which seems more logical for us).
