What's a "sequence point"?..

Answer / varshil shah

A sequence point in imperative programming defines any point
in a computer program's execution at which it is guaranteed
that all side effects of previous evaluations will have been
performed, and no side effects from subsequent evaluations
have yet been performed. They are often mentioned in
reference to C and C++, because the result of some
expressions can depend on the order of evaluation of their
subexpressions. Adding one or more sequence points is one
method of ensuring a consistent result, because this
restricts the possible orders of evaluation.
