  Could you expand about this topic?

  I wrote a small application to illustrate this topic, but I have no idea on 
how Turbo C would compile it:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main (int argc, char **argv) {
if (argc<3) {
fprintf (stderr, "Usage: problem number number\nWhere number is a decimal 
integer.\n");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
int a = atoi (argv[1]);
printf ("The first argument was %d.\n", a);
int b = atoi (argv[2]);
int c = a---b;
printf ("%d = %d---%d\n", c, a, b);
c = a+++b;
printf ("%d = %d+++%d\n", c, a, b);
return 0;
}

  I must go to sleep now.
