Program Explanation

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
int x = 10, y = 20;
int result;

printf("Original values, x = %d and y = %d\n", x, y);

// Pre-increment
result = ++x;
printf("After pre-incrementing, x = %d and result = %d\n", x,
result);

// Post-increment
result = y++;
printf("After post-incrementing, y = %d and result = %d\n", y,
result);

// Pre-decrement
result = --x;
printf("After pre-decrementing, x = %d and result = %d\n", x,
result);

// Post-decrement
result = y--;
printf("After post-decrementing, y = %d and result = %d\n", y,
result);

return 0;
}

Explanation of Each Step:


1. Initial Values:

int x = 10, y = 20;


 x is initialized to 10.
 y is initialized to 20.
The first printf prints the original values of x and y:

Original values, x = 10 and y = 20


2. Pre-Increment:

result = ++x;
 Pre-increment means the value of x is incremented first, and then
the incremented value is assigned to result.
 So, x is incremented from 10 to 11.
 result is assigned the value of x, which is now 11.
The second printf prints:
After pre-incrementing, x = 11 and result = 11

3. Post-Increment:
result = y++;
 Post-increment means the value of y is assigned to result first, and
then y is incremented.
 result is assigned the value of y, which is 20 (the current value of y).
 Then, y is incremented from 20 to 21.
The third printf prints:
After post-incrementing, y = 21 and result = 20

4. Pre-Decrement:
result = --x;
 Pre-decrement means the value of x is decremented first, and then
the decremented value is assigned to result.
 So, x is decremented from 11 to 10.
 result is assigned the value of x, which is now 10.
The fourth printf prints:
After pre-decrementing, x = 10 and result = 10

5. Post-Decrement:
result = y--;
 Post-decrement means the value of y is assigned to result first, and
then y is decremented.
 result is assigned the value of y, which is 21 (the current value of y).
 Then, y is decremented from 21 to 20.
The fifth printf prints:
After post-decrementing, y = 20 and result = 21

Final Output:
The complete output of this program will be:

Original values, x = 10 and y = 20


After pre-incrementing, x = 11 and result = 11
After post-incrementing, y = 21 and result = 20
After pre-decrementing, x = 10 and result = 10
After post-decrementing, y = 20 and result = 21
