the printf function returns 1 when it prints a string.. for (1;1&&i--;1) { printf("bat"); } note that i=2 has been cunningly initialized before. and the decrement of i has been done in middle expression of the for loop hence, actually its like for(;i--;) { }
how many times will this execute? Twice.i=1 and i=2, for i=O, the middle condition shall become O and hence fails. therefore the ouput.
