The short answer - it is an undefined operation. Means that the C standard regards this as garbage, and your compiler was polite enough to produce spaces.
The reason: there are no sequence points in the line between important steps.
A ; character creates a sequence point. So the first version works. This means the compiler can do any of those calculations in any order...
By the way, that 'swap' algorithm in general is a bad idea; it has unsafe properties. You should use a temp variable. It may look cool to you, but that is about it.

Hi !
How to reset a variable to 0 after a reset value, say 10 using bitwise
XOR.
For example,
int cnt=0;
if(cnt<10)
cnt++;
else
cnt = 0;
How can we achieve this by using XOR only.
thanks, (1 Reply)

ppmtosixel
ppmtosixel(1) General Commands Manual ppmtosixel(1)
NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format
SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile]
DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC
LJ250 color inkjet printer.
If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table
begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file.
OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com-
pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni-
tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower.
-margin
If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci-
fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image.
PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?.
BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was
greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the
color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation.
