Can you have a triple minus signs in C programming? What does it mean? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Sure why not. This statement

iHoursTemp = iHoursTemp + iZoneNew ---iZoneOld;

is equivalent to

iHoursTemp = iHoursTemp + iZoneNew -(--iZoneOld); //first decrement iZoneOld then perform rest of the arithmetic operation.

A little brain teaser, but fun to write :-)
