The answers to some questions must be known in order to be able to write a correct program.

In the vast majority of the programming languages, the order of evaluation for the actual parameters passed to a function is undefined. In the few programming languages where the order of evaluation is defined, that is actually a mistake in the design of that programming language.

This is something about which any programmer must be well aware, because when composing function invocations it is very easy to write a function invocation where the result would depend on the order of evaluation of the expressions passed as actual parameters. The arithmetic operators are also function invocations, so that applies to them too.
