Macro with argument

2
This is the code which i run on GNU C compiler

#define PRODUCT(x) (x*x)
main()
{

int i=3,j,k;
j=PRODUCT(i++);
k=PRODUCT(++i);
printf("\n%d %d",j,k);
}

output of this program is 9 and 49
but i expected 9 and 25

Irony is when i define a function instead of macro i get the ans 9 and 45
but in case of macro it doesn't give this ans.
Can you tell me why?
