And here there is even more ambiguity since a variable (what might better be called a named object) can be set in two ways, and the C standard says different things about each! > 4) What is the difference between x = y++; and x = ++y;? > 5) What is the difference between break, continue, and return when used > inside a loop statement? > 6) What are the three parts of a for statement and which of them are > required? The correct answer for C was made more complicated in 1999, and as for C++, well that's a whole new ball game. > 7) What is the difference between the = and == operators? > 8) Does the following statement compile? > > for ( ; ; ) ; > > 9) What does the underscore _ represent in a switch expression?
