*p++ = *p results?

[Kevin L. Malloy]

In the statement *p++ = *p; what will be the result?  Will p be equal
to itself or will p be equal to the next value it is pointing to?
In other words should p be incremented after it is evaluated or should
p be incremented after the assignment operation is finished?--
