Chapter 2, Problem 24CP

Explanation of Solution

Given: In C++, the following code:

int a = 6;

int b = a--;

cout << a << endl;

cout << b << endl;

a = 6;

b = --a;

cout << a << endl;

cout << b << endl;

To find: In C++, the output of the following code.

int a = 6;

int b = a--;

cout << a << endl;

cout << b << endl;

a = 6;

b = --a;

cout << a << endl;

cout << b << endl;

Solution:

int a = 6;

int b = a--;

The given code shows the data type as int, where the variable, a, is declared and assigned the value as 6. It also declares the variable, b, as a data type, int...
