That's quite a claim. I agree that most uses of these operators as an expression are not wise. Some are though. As a counter-claim, I offer:
array[i++] = this;
array[i++] = that;
array[i++] = the_other;
which also extends nicely when some of those elements are optional.
- SamReidHughes 11y agoFor what it's worth, you could always make a function postincr and write array[postincr(&i)] = ...; if you're doing enough of those that it's worth it.
- lomnakkus 11y agoI presume you're using C as the example language? Most modern languages have an append-to-list method/function, so your example isn't really applicable in those langauges. For example, ArrayList#add() for Java or Vec::push[1] for Rust, etc. (Yes, these are technically dynamically sized arrays, but you can always reserve the necessary amount of space up front if you so desire.)
