Isn't the evaluated value different from the expression? i++ returns the value of i before increasing. i-=-1 would return the value after it has been increased. Wouldn't it be more correct to make it equal to ++i

In the languages I know, i-=-1 or x=3 are not expressions, but rather statements, so they do not evaluate to a value.

So, this would be a compiler error:

a = (x=3)

Well, not all languages allow for fun programming :)
