Question - compound operators

HeavyReyn (5)
Hi Guys,

trying to figure out why the value of a is 26? Can anyone clarify this? I get 16 if I work it out manually.

  #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int result(int valueP)
{
    const int BONUS = 14;
    int count = 6;
    int a = 5;
    while (count > valueP)
    {
        a += BONUS - a / 2;
        count -= 2;
    }
    return a;
}

int main()
{
  cout << result (1);
    return 0;
}

It repeats the process multiple times. If you put
cout << a << endl; in the while loop under a+= BONUS - a / 2; you see that the output is

line 11 is: a = a + (BONUS - (a/2)).
That should give you 26.
