Find the Output: Short circuit in while condition

43Find the output of the following C code (assume #include <stdio.h> and that the code is inside int main(void)):
int a = 1, b = 5, count = 0;
while (a++ < 4 && --b > 1)
    count += a + b;
printf("%d %d %d", a, b, count);
  • Option : A
  • Explanation : The body adds 6 on each of three successful tests. The final a++ fails, incrementing a to 5 without changing b.
