This question contains "code side effect".

Bcoz according to K & R , a single variables value can't be within one expression.

The answer is 56 because the compiler will use right to left associtavity here..
and when it gets i++
then for the value of i,
nothing happens..
then it gets *,
it puts it in stack..
then gets another i++
by this time the 1st ++ is executed and i's value is 8 now..
so it will be 8*7=56

An output device is any piece of computer hardware equipment used to communicate the results of data processing carried out by an information processing system (such as a computer) to the outside world.

In computing, input/output, or I/O, refers to the communication between an information processing system (such as a computer), and the outside world. Inputs are the signals or data sent to the system, and outputs are the signals or data sent by the system to the outside.
Examples of output devices:

ex
Speakers
Headphones
Screen (Monitor)
Printer

Its 49n because compiler starts execution from right to left then it founds that ++i (remember,this is compiler execution) means it will take just 7 simply then again it founds that ++i (remember,this is compiler execution).
If u have any doubt then try the below code
int i=7;
printf("%d",++i*++i);
it will be 81
try it my friends!

The result will vary based on compiler and optimization settings, and in general is not predictable. The order of evaluation of expressions and the order in which side effects are applied is *unspecified*; you could get the result of 7*7, 7*8, or some other value. The language standard specifically calls this out as *undefined behavior*, so *any* result can be considered "correct". You should never write code like this.

Because when I value leaves printf it gets incremented because its right ++(incremented)

explanation:

i++ * i++
8 * 7 (after reading right most "i" the value gets incremented to 8, as we know that printf() reads from right.

@estuti - if you took an exam that claimed this kind of an expression gave a specific, well-defined result, then the professor who wrote the exam doesn't understand how the language works. Any expression of the form x++*x++ invokes undefined behavior, and the result will vary based on platform, compiler settings etc.

Initially i=7,
in printf statement (i++*i++)==>(7*8)=56
Finally, i turns to 9 (As simple as we are incrementing the i value twice the value turns to 9)

per-increment example:
int i=7;
printf(++i*++i)==> (8*9)=72
finally the value of i will be 9

63, its working something like that (i++*++i) = (7*9).
now your question is that why so? Because at first part of equation i++ = its 8 but not for itself its for another ++i = 9(because first it will take the incremental value of i = 8 and then increment it by 1 then its actual value if 9). and if in place of i++ is ++i and if in place of ++i is i++then the answer is 64 . Because same ++i = 8 and the i++=8 .++i is pre increment operator and i++ is post increment operator.

Code
  1. #include<conio.h>

    2. 

  2. void main()

    3. 

  3. {

    4. 

  4. int i  = 7;

    5. 

  5. printf("%d",i++*++i);

    6. 

  6. getch();

    7. 

  7. }

    8. 

  8.

i++*i++ where i=7
post increment in this first use the value the update the variable
so first keep i=7 then increment its now i=8, this new value use by right is as use value, after its increment as 9
so expression is 7*8= 56 and after this instruction i value is 9.
