Re: Interesting result

Again, as it is undefined in PHP the question "Why" in itself is wrong :) Andi At 04:43 PM 12/21/2002 +0200, Andrey Hristov wrote:

You can't use a variable and it's post/pre increment value in the same expression. Two years ago I've been told by a professort that a+++a+++a depends on the language and the compiler. Yesterday i found this page : http://www.blueshoes.org/en/developer/syntax_exam/ If a=1 -> Java : 6 PHP : 6 gcc 2.95 : 3 I know that is "on the edge" and I will never use it in real script by I was curious why the reference change the result.
