Suppose that we have variable (x) allocated in the memory and assigned a constant value (v). Are there cases where the operation of reading the content of the variable changes its value?
Thanks.

When you say "a particular value" do you mean a constant, such as 5 ? – Isuru H May 19 '17 at 20:21

Yes, something like "int x=5;" in C. – rmas May 19 '17 at 23:23

1Some cases, sure. Such as the whole situation with the indirect bit on PDP-10. And some loads that do a conversion in addition to loading. It's not common – harold May 19 '17 at 23:35
