  First off, your code is not even valid C.
  Now translation of your code:

  a = 10
  a = 10
  a = 11 * 10
  

  For why that is go read some about sequence point.

  Hey boo ,sorry I didn't mention that a is int data type, but u didn't explain it well why in last line it's 11*10

  What do you expect it to be? On line 2 assignment precedes the increment. On line 3 it's an expression so increment/decrement need to be evaluated first before both numbers are multiplied.
  Maybe this will be more clear:

  a = 10
  (a = a + 1) * (a = a - 1) // a++ * a--

  Assignment operator preceds the increment. Moreover, the value of a is initialised to be 10 and then multiplied with 11 which gives the result 110. For help on operators in C, follow the link : http://knowledgetpoint.com/csharp/csharp-language-fundamentals/
