rindolfscorchsaber+=1
rillo??
rindolfrillo: Python does not have a ++ operator.
scorchsaberrindolf: Oh, but it does have a + operator.
rilloah. I’m new to python so i did not know
scorchsaberA few days ago, it was suggested that I implement ++ using the + operator.
scorchsaberAnd I did so. :)
scorchsaberSo, really, a++; is valid in Python, and it may even increment a by one. If somebody was crazy, anyhow, and if a was mutable.
rilloshall i move back to perl to get the ++
rillo?
rindolfrillo: no, use COBOL instead.
