(--x) Vs (- - x)

Question

int x;
x = (x=1) + (x=7)* (- - x);
System.out.println( x );
why does the output of the above statements differ from the one given below..
int x;
x = (x=1) + (x=7)* (--x);
System.out.println( x );
Thanks in advance....

Answer 1

I think 2007 is better then 2006.
In 2006 everybody ask "why is this code i = i++ <do
something>?"
In 2007 expression is greater and stranger with ( x =
C ) elements and --x instead of i++.
