Cout printing with array pointers - weird behavior - c++

Question

I was playing around with pointers and got results I did not expect:
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
int main() {
int arr[4] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
int* pArr = arr;
std::cout << "First number: " << *pArr << " at address: " << pArr;
pArr++;
std::cout << "\nSecond number: " << *pArr << " at address: " << pArr;
pArr++;
std::cout << "\nThird number: " << *pArr << " at address: " << pArr;
pArr++;
std::cout << "\nFourth number: " << *pArr << " at address: " << pArr;
int* pArr2 = arr;
std::cout << "\n"
<< *pArr2++ << "\n"
<< *pArr2++ << "\n"
<< *pArr2++ << "\n"
<< *pArr2++ << "\n";
/*
int* pArr2 = arr;
std::cout << "\n"
<< ++ * pArr2 << "\n"
<< * ++pArr2 << "\n";
*/
}
The two different results:
1 2 3 4 - as expected using the first method
4 3 2 1 - using cout with multiple arguments I do not know the proper name.
So my question is - why does this happen? Using multiple cout statements results in expected for me code, while using just 1 cout results in backwards solution.
As a side note, another confusing thing to me is that pre-increment results in all values being equal. In the commented bit of code, the result is 3 3, no matter the ++ placement with respect to the *.

Answer 1

This code:
std::cout << "\n" << *pArr2++ << "\n";
std::cout << "\n" << *pArr2++ << "\n";
has a well defined order of modifications to pArr and will print
1
2
But this code:
std::cout << "\n" << *pArr2++ << "\n" << *pArr2++ << "\n";
invokes undefined behavior before c++17, because there are multiple modifications to pArr2 that are unsequenced. The program has UB, so it could print anything.
From c++17, there is a sequence point between the modifications, and the above code is guaranteed to print:
1
