UMBC CS 201, Fall 02 (748 words)
We know that "--" is the decrement operator, but we must pay attention to whether it's used as pre-decrement or post-decrement.
In this case --z is pre-decrement, so we decrement z from 6 to 5 first, then we use the new value of z and evaluate x / 5.
The fundamental question is whether we decrement x before (pre-decrement) or after (post-decrement) we use x's value in the calculation.
