I suggest the documentation for these functions on MSDN.

Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/default.aspx[^] and type the name of the function in the search box.

You can find your answer in MSDN.

A list box or an edit box? A list box is not some sort of a "text container" that you can dump text into. So, you'll have to do a bit of work (parse entries and add it to the list box).

I'm sure all those functions are documented and there are plenty of examples out there. Not to mention if you're using MFC, things will be easier.

increment decrement in C++

Hi to All,

Here is a question i came across , but could not find an answer,Could anyone please tell me the reason

output of the line

printf("%d %d %d",++i,i++,++i);

according to me it should be 3,1,1 (since, when the control comes to the third(right to left)incrementation ,the value of i is 2,...and since its a preincrement, it should give a result 3...and at last since printf is based on stack....results will pop out like 3,1,1....

But its showing 2, 1, 1
also when I tried with
printf("%d %d %d",++i,i,++i);
it still shows 2, 1, 1

why so?

It may depend on the compiler. Besides, there should not be more than one expression like "++i" or "--i" in a statement.

The compiler is at liberty to evaluate those arguments in any order it wants. Which means you can't rely on the results of statements like that. Which means don't do it. Never try and fight against the compiler - it's too hard and ain't worth it.

Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Just additionally to what others told you:
I assume i at the beginning is zero.
So if it comes to the first "part" (right to left), ++i will make it 1, then there's the second part which is simply i so it remaints 1 and then it comes to the third part, ++i again which will increase i to 2, thus 2,1,1.

correct, but what about the other statement
printf("%d %d %d",++i,i++,++i);
whcih also gives the same result

Is i equal to 3 after printf? If so, then i'd say, i++ is executed after printf finished.

Thanks for the shout out for that article. I wrote it after seeing one too many of these questions.

1/ The article wasn't copied from that page!
My article was written 20th June 2007... The MSDN article says it was written on 30th July 2009.

2/ I found the information a little hard to gather initially...

3/ The original question you're in the thread of (how tangled is that!? ) answers your question of "why write this article". There were several related questions not long before I wrote it, and I could not see an appropriate resource on CP.

4/ I think my code is a little better wrapped up in a program than MSDN's.

5/ Maybe my other articles are more to your liking. I look forward to reading your more useful ones.
