what's wrong here?

i made some code on my lesson and what i got was way different. i had to have the output to be like this: a 9 a 10 c 9 a 9 c 10 and i got: a 9 a 10 c 9 a 9 c 9 and here is my code

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {

// insert code here...

int a = 9;
printf("a %d\n", a);

int c = a++;
printf("a %d c %d\n", a, c);

int b = a--;
printf("a %d c %d\n", a, c);
return 0;

// insert code here...

int a = 9; printf("a %d\n", a);

int c = a++; printf("a %d c %d\n", a, c);

int c = a--; printf("a %d c %d\n", a, c); return 0;

Re-assign c. int b is redundant!
