What will be the value of i and j after execution of following program?
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
	int i, j;
	for(i=0,j=0;i<10,j<20;i++,j++){
		printf("i=%d %t j=%d", i, j);
       }
}

A. 10 10

B. 10 20

C. 20 20

D. Run time error

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

comma operator is executed from left to right so until j<20 for loop statement is true, so both i and j are incremented.
So, i = 20 and j = 20.

    when i=20 and j=20 the condition becomes file... when i run this snippet in my editor , it gave me i=19 and j=19 ...So the answer D is incorrect in my opinion.
