i=12 ,j=6 ,k=11

The macro MAX(x,y) returns the biggest num of two given nums
k=MAX(i++,++j) becomes
k=(i++)>(++j)?(i++):(++j);
k=(10)>(6)?(11):(6); // here i becomes 12

now k is 11,i is 12,j is 6

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (8) | No   

Sarthak Bansal  (8 years ago)

Max(x,y) will return the greater value b/w x and y
k=MAX(i++,++j) will return 10 because i++=10 and ++j=6 during k=MAX(i++,++j) so k=i++=11
after the execution of this statement i will be 12
so result will be 12,6,11

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (5) | No   

santhosh  (8 years ago)

output: 12 6 11
max(i++,j++)----->(i++)>(++j) ? (i++) : (++j)
i incremented for two times because condition is true
i++ is postincrement so k will get only 11

i=12 j=6 k=11

sanjeev kumar  (9 years ago)

the correct answer is i=12,j=6,k=11 (tested on turbo c)
can anyone provide me reason for the answer?

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes (2) | No   

Mohd Shoeb  (8 years ago)

i=12, j=6, k=11 as

if ( i++ > ++j )
then i++;
else ++j

since i is greater than j so if block will execute and increments i two times. first when checking condition and second while executing if block... while j is incremented only once while checking the condition.

can anyone pls explain why i is 12

aswini  (9 years ago)

ans:
i=11,j=5,k=11

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (5)  

gopal  (9 years ago)

10,6,11 since i is the bigger value its value will be returned by the max function and will be incremented because i++ is sent..

i=10,j=6,k=11

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (1)

i=11,j=6,k=10 (from turbo c)

Meenakshi S  (8 years ago)

i=11 ; j=6; k=10

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (2)  

Simarpreet Singh  (8 years ago)

i=10 , j=5 , k=11
since there is increments in i and j just to set value for j, but overall there is no change in i and j.

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (1)  

Tejaswini Gautam  (8 years ago)

10,6,10...due to post increment operator value of i remains same till execution of max while i is associated with predecrement operator so it's value is increment before execution of max

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (1)  

Anupama  (8 years ago)

Answer is I=10,j=6,k=10.. because k calls the macro MAX in which its to find maximum number..and I is not incremented but j is incremented

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (1)  

Shaila Azmi  (6 years ago)

it will print 11,6,10

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No (1)  

V.Poojitha  (5 years ago)

11,6,10
because k=MAX(10,6);
here control moves to MAX(x,y) function where 10 > 6 ,therefore k=10;
hence for post-increment of i takes place,it takes the original value and then increments it,in the final print statement i,j,k are 11,6,10 respectively

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No

11 ,6 , 10

i=12,j=6,k=11

Is this solution Helpfull? Yes | No   

AMIT KUMARE  (3 years ago)

i=12, j=6, k=11
after execution (i++) >(++j) ? (i++) :(++j)// 10>6? (i++)10:6 is become as k=MAX(i++=11, ++j=6)
again execution of K=MAX(i++, ++j) K= 11 and i=12 because in MAX(i++ is post increment).
hence i=12, j=6 ,k=11
