double y, z;
double c[4]= {3.5, -0.6, 4.7, 5.7 };
y= c[1];
z= c[2]*y++;

why is y=.4 instead of -0.6?

[zb0S216C]

The values specified within the braces are the initializing values of c's elements. I tend to call them initialization lists. For example:

int Numbers[3] = 
{
    0, // Element No. 1
    1, // Element No. 2
    2  // Element No. 3
};

when i compile and run,
i get y=.4 and z=-2.82

Are those unexpected results?
