Solution for Exercise 4.33 of C++ Primer 5th Edition.

Explain the following expression:
someValue ? ++x, ++y : --x, --y;

I was stuck by this expression for some time, and now I figure it out.
Please allow me to share my process of thinking.

Frist, we know that the precedence of comma operator "," is the lowest.
So the expression equals to (someValue ? ++x, ++y : --x), --y;
Besides, we must be aware of that the associality of ?: operator is from right to left.

Then, when somevalue is false, then we should get the value from the right of sub expression:
--x, --y; Then the value value should be --y.

For true condition, the result of the left sub expression is ++y. However, we must note that 
there is still a --y in the end following a comma, then the final value for y should minus 1 from
the ++y expression. Hence, acutally, when true, the result is y itself after a addition and a subtraction.

In a word, this expression is equivalent to somevalue ? y : --y;

If there is any mistakes in my thinking, please let me know, thanks for reading.
