Answer is D as Y is storing the address of X, so --Y will result in error.

The main issue here is that definition of 'y' is incorrect. The '&' should be written before the variable name. Also there are several other issues: missing the namespace 'std' before 'cout' and also some compiler will generate an error regarding the 'iostream.h' included file. It is more preferable to write #include <iostream>.

Declaration syntax error.

Considering int &y=x;
Hey, when we do x++ the value of x should be printed as 81 and hence --y would become 80 right?
But when I ran the program in Visual Studio 13 it printed 80 80.
Please enlighten me.

Actually, reference (&) need to be before why otherwise compiler gives following error in DEV CPP.
1) Expected initializer before '&' token.
2) 'y' was not declared in this scope.

2) 'y' was not declared in this scope.

It should be y=&x;.

Because the declaration of reference variable is wrong.
It should be as int &y = x;.
It should be as int &y = x;.

Declaration of y should be int& y = x; instead of int y& = x.

Address is only stored by a pointer.

Actually position of '&' is incorrect. Otherwise using Visual studio 2010, it gives 80 80 output.
