Re^2: Pre vs Post Incrementing variables

My guess: the entire right hand expression is evaluated before assignments are made.

Good guess. Doesn't really answer the question though, as any assignment will evaluate the RHS before doing the assignment. (If it didn't, what would it assign? Purple monkeys?)

Actually, it does. Evaluating that right hand increments `$i` twice. This occurs before either of the assignments.	[reply] [d/l]
