Hi all!
Maybe this has been answered before, but my searching didn't show up
anything: The Perl Book says: Auto increment and decrement work as in C.
So if I take this C program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>
int main() {
int a;
int b;
a=3;
b=(++a)+(a++);
printf("b=%d\n",b);
}
it prints b=8.
When I do the same in perl:
$a = 3;
$b = (++$a) + ($a++);
print "b=$b\n";
It prints b=9.
I checked with a friend and Java behaves like C and prints 8.
Can someone enlighten us by giving an interpretation of the above term?
Thanks a lot and all the best
Norbert
