The following expressions are sequenced: a && b a || b a , b a ? b : c for ( a ; b ; c ) { ... } In all cases, the expression a is fully evaluated and all side effects are applied before either b or c are evaluated. In the fourth case, only one of b or c will be evaluated. In the l...

C11 The following expressions are unsequenced: a + b; a - b; a * b; a / b; a % b; a & b; a | b; In the above examples, the expression a may be evaluated before or after the expression b, b may be evaluated before a, or they may even be intermixed if they correspond to several instruct...

Function calls as f(a) always imply a sequence point between the evaluation of the arguments and the designator (here f and a) and the actual call. If two such calls are unsequenced, the two function calls are indeterminately sequenced, that is, one is executed before the other, and order is unspeci...
