C# Question

Question

So I did try and look up this on the Q&A but it wouldn't search for it unfortunately.

Anyways, I'm trying to learn C# and this question came up in the quiz.

int a = 4;
int b = 6;
b = a++;
Console.WriteLine(++b);

The answer is 5 from the quiz but I'm rather confused as to how why. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

b is 6

make b = 4(a), THEN add to a

write line of b, add 1 before it's used which is 5

these are called increments and decrements. Knowing that you can probably search explanations a lil better. Thank you for searching first

Answer 2

yes, sounds about right

Answer 3

Awesome! Thank you so much for the help!

So just make sure I get it:

Even though b = 6, since b = a++ it would replace b = 6
Finally in the Console, since we have ++b, it basically adds the increment before moving on with the expression?
