This may be a stupid question.But still if someone can answer
if this
a = 2 + (b = 5); and
this
a = b = c = 5;
expressions are right and working fine.
Then why following is not working:
int a,b;
b=2;
a=2+b=5;
a = 2 + (b = 5); and
this
a = b = c = 5;
expressions are right and working fine.
Then why following is not working:
int a,b;
b=2;
a=2+b=5;
The assignment operator = is right-associative, has a lower precedence than the binary + operator,
and
and
2+b is not an l-value. (assuming that b is not an object of a user-defined type).a = ( (2+b) = 5 ) ; // fully parethesized
