Can someone explain the program, I don't understand why the output is 326

What is the output of this code?  int x = 21; int y = 7; System.out.print(x- - /y- -); System.out.print(x+y) ; output: 326

first print -> 21/7 = 3 (no change in values due to post decrement operator) second print -> 20+6 = 26 (decremeted values due to previous line) output => 326 (append both values)

x-- in first print actually decreased the value of x and so did y-- to y

For clarity, post decrement operator is like - use now, decrement later
