Question

What is the output of the following C program segment? 
int j = 7; 
printf("%d, %d", j++, j--);}

• A. 6, 7
• B. 7, 7
• C. 8, 7
• D. 7, 6

Hint:

For post-increment and post-decrement operators, the value is used before the operation takes place.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The value of \( j \) is printed before and after the increment and decrement operations. The post-increment operator \( j++ \) increments \( j \) after it is evaluated, and the post-decrement operator \( j-- \) decrements \( j \) after it is evaluated.
Thus, the output is \( 6, 7 \).
Thus, the correct answer is \( 6, 7 \).
