+= is a good thing to remember. Much like the optional factor 1 in the ADD op code.

Does anyone think that the shorthand syntax is a little backwards?
It replaces this format: X = X + 1 with X += 1. Shouldn't it be X =+ 1? It's a little easier to visualize putting the X in between the = and + than having to reverse it.



I realize that C and it's derivatives do it that way, I just think that it's a little odd. JMHO.


Hans, would it be possible to have the compiler handle both ways?
