First, you have 4. Then in the second line you have this: 4 += 4 + 6 + 6 x++ means you put value of x first and then it is incremented, so you got 4. In the case of ++x the value of x is incremented once again, that's why you got 6.

++x increments then assigns value, x++ assings value then increments.

The answer here should be 22. Below is the reason which I can see x+=(x++)+(++x)+x which is same as x=(x + ((x++)+(++x)+x) Now with order of prioritty (x++) will be executed first. x++ will increment the value of x first and return the old value, which is 4 Next ++x will be executed ++x will increment the value first and return the new value, which 6 Now our problem is changes like below x=6 x=x+4+6+x Which is 22! However when I execute x=x + ((x++)+(++x)+x then I am getting 21. I am yet to figure out the reson why removal of bracket changes the execution

Var x = 4 X *= 2 X -=3 X++ Println(x)
