HiIn the statement scanf("%d %d"+scanf("%d %d", &i, &j)); the first two values are read into i and j. for the third value it is a null pointer assignment. so segmentation fault occurs at run time.--ashok kumar tellakula

The behavior is undefined. There are not enough arguments for the given conversion specifiers in the scanf() calls (7.19.6.2.2). It looks like the intent is for the inner call to scanf() to offset 2 characters into the first conversion specifier, effectively giving a call of scanf(" %d"), which invokes undefined behavior (assuming that even works; odds are it doesn't in general).

Since the behavior is undefined, any of the listed results are allowed.
