• Visual C# What's the difference between += and =+?

  Is there a difference between the valid += and the mysterious =+ They both compile, is this correct As mentioned, the unary plus operator is the complement of the unary minus operator. For unary minus: n = 42; n = -n; // n is now -42 For unary plus: n = 42; n = +n; // n is still 42 The unary plus operator is a NOP, but included for mathematical completeness, as far as I understand. ...Show All
