c programming

[amit sorot]

main()
{
int c=--2;
printf("c=%d",c);
}

y there is an compiler error

[ssi12345]

int c=--2;
It should be c=(-2)

[bigclassesglobal]

why had u given as '--2', give it as -2,and once check it

[Sandhya.Kishannag]

I think it should be given as

int c;
c=--2;
printf("%c=%d",c)

-- is the decrement operator
