To understand, let us rewrite the equation. So x+=(x++)+(++x)+x actually means x = x + (x++) + (++x) + x At the start, x is 4. So x = 4 + (x++) + (++x) + x (x++) will use x (4) then increment x, making it 5. So x = 4 + 4+ (++x) + x (++x) will increment x (5) making it 6, then use x. So x = 4 + 4 +6 + x And x is now 6. So x = 4 + 4 + 6 + 6 Which is 20. Thus x = 20.
