Re: Two aces up Python's sleeve (Posting On Python-List Prohibited)

Well you can use your Browser, since
JavaScript understand post and pre increment:
 > x = 5
5
 > x ++
5
 > x = 5
5
 > ++ x
6
So we have x ++ equals in Python:
     x + = 1
     x - 1
And ++ x equals in Python:
     x += 1
     x
But I don't know how to combine an
assignment and an expression into one
expession. In JavaScript one can use
the comma:
 > x = 5
5
 > y = (x += 1, x - 1)
5
 > x = 5
5
 > y = (x += 1, x)
6
But in Python the comma would create a tuple.

I heard this behavior is because python's integers are immutable.

 Nothing to do with that.
 

++x or x++ will redefine 5 to 6, which the interpreter forbids ...

 One of those is actually syntactically valid.
 It just won’t do what you expect it to do.
