In fact, I think you can remove the % and it still blows - a pause and then Bus error here.
Thanks. I thought I'd investigate some more and even this catches fire; int count; 3 %=> (++count); I tried that because admittedly the intended calculation order in these expressions is a bit vague. I'm not sure what proper behaviour would be here; "++count" is a bit like a function that should return "count + 1" and clearly functions aren't mutable but it's also a lot like a integer and that clearly is mutable. "++count%3 => count;" is fine but is that really more readable than "3 %=> ++count;"? I'm not very happy with having to reference "count" twice. Some might argue I should simply use two lines but this kind of thing is such a basic operation that I'd really like to have it on one line and in a readable form. WWJD? (What Would Java Do?) Kas.
