Problem Statement - Output writing – If-else with post/pre increment

Write the output of the following c++ program when the user input value are -1 and 1.

int main()
{
  int n;
  cout<<"Enter and integer :";
  cin>>n;
  if(n++ >= ++n)
    cout<<n<<" if";
  else
    cout<<++n<<" else";
  return 0;
}

Solution

TC++ #2014

 

Run Output

Enter and integer :-1
1 else

-OR-
Enter and integer :1
3 else

Notes

if(n++ >= ++n) cout<<n<<” if”;
If n is 1 then value before >= will be 1 itself as it is a post increment operator. The value after >= will be 2, so the condition will be false and the value of n will become 2 as soon as this expression is evaluated.

else cout<<++n<<” else”;
Since it will reach the else condition as if expression was evaluated as false. Now if the input was 1 it will reach here as 2 and with the pre-increment as ++n it will become 3. Similarly if the initial input is -1 it will become +1 (+1 is two increments ahead of -1).

Common Errors

  • Many students forget to pre-increment value in the if expression comparison.
