much help...
Thanks in advance

They are points within your program at which it is guaranteed that
everything that should have happened (and in particular all the side
effects) up till this point /has/ happened (or won't ever happen!). You get
them at the end of expression statements, and at various other places as
well.

See "C: A Reference Manual", by Harbison & Steele. My 4th edition carries a
reasonable explanation on p83, and again on pages 228-229.

Or, alternatively, OP can get the "from the horse's mouth" explanation
from 5.1.2.3, subparagraph 2, in the draft n869 standard. (OP can,
presumably, use Google to locate this document.)

Yes, but ISO Standards tend to make lousy tutorials. :-)

There is now a link to a copy of it on the CLC wiki. I used the way back
machine to find Dan Pop's copy and uploaded it to my site. If Dan
objects (which I think is unlikely) I can remove it. Links to that and
other versions of the standard are here http://clc-wiki.net/wiki/c_standard
P.S. Anyone know how Dan is doing?

Hello all,
I have read the definition of a sequence point in the standard and can
follow it mechanically, but for some reason, I'm having a hard time grasping
the conceptual meaning and significance. Can someone out there offer good
intuition on sequence points???
Thank you!

I've read a long time ago in the MSDN that C++ language defines no sequence

I know the basic definition of a sequence point (point where all side
effects guaranteed to be finished), but I am confused about this
statement:
"Between the previous and next sequence point an object shall have its
stored value modified at most once by the evaluation of an expression.
Furthermore, the prior value shall be accessed only to determine the
value to be stored."
Can someone give me examples of expressions that "barely"...
