Read the C FAQ at http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/faq.html
especially "Section 3. Expressions"

e.g. -  

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q3.1.html
===============================================
3.1:    Why doesn't this code:

        a[i] = i++;

    work?
===============================================

http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/q3.2.html
===============================================
3.2:    Under my compiler, the code

        int i = 7;
        printf("%d\n", i++ * i++);

    prints 49.  Regardless of the order of evaluation, shouldn't it
    print 56?
