Answer / vikram
here,*is the value at address operater;
according to heirarchy of operators,*is given the first
preference and then ++;
++(*p) means first incrementation of value at address of p
takes place and then execution takes place;
on the other hand,(*p)++ means first execution takes place
and then value at address of p is incremented

Answer / manju
both increments the value not the address. but the
difference lies in post and pre increment..
for example
main()
{
int i=2,*p;
p=&i;
}
when (*p)++ is given the o/p will be 2.
and in next line the value is incremented. in ++(*p)
the value is 3 since it is post

Answer / alok kumar
++(*p) :- means that first increment the value of that variable which address holds p .than any operation will perform. ex:- int a=10;int *p; p=&a;
int c=++(*p);printf("%d,%d",c,*p);out put:-11 , 11 .
(*p)++ :- means that first assign the value than increment the value by 1. ex:- int a=10;int *p; p=&a;
int c=(*p)++;printf("%d,%d",c,*p);out put:-10 , 11 .
