Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
That
*++
operator from C is indeed confusing.Reminds me of the goes-to operator:
-->
that you can use as:That's not a real operator. You've put a space in "i--" and removed the space in "-- >". The statement is "while i-- is greater than zero". Inventing an unnecessary "goes to" operator just confuses beginners and adds something else to think about while debugging.
And yes I have seen beginners try to use <-- and --<. Just stop it.
The sheer number of people that do not expect a joke on this community... (Really, if you are trying to learn how to program pay attention to the one without the
Humor
on the name, not here.)Well, I guess nobody expects.
Where do you think we are?
