Is it before or after the assignment (No fair peeking in K&R!)? This is merely a slightly more complicated version of the disgusting: x = 5; x = x++; In my example, different compilers will leave you with x == 5 or x == 6. In your example, "what order the increment takes place" depends upon what compiler you have. Steven Augart swa@xx.lcs.mit.edu (swa@xx.ARPA)
