Karsten may have a point, though I don't have a copy of K&R to check. ++i means "increment _i_ before evaluating any larger expression", whereas i++ means "evaluate the larger expression, and _then_ increment i".
For example, i=1; 5*++i evaluates to 10, but i=1; 5*i++ evaluates to 5. (after both statements, i=2). -- Clear skies, Justin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
