Coincidentally, I've had a little discussion with a non-programmer friend of mine about this operator the other day. He does a little scripting in a game maker program sometimes, and told me that the ++ operator confused him way more than it ever helped him, because he keeps typing stuff like "x + 7" instead of "x = x + 7"
