The strick interpretation of i=i++ starts by evaluating the right side
"i++" to compute a r-value (right value). Since the ++ is after the i,
it is a post-operation, vs. if it were before the i, in which case it
would be a pre-operation. So first the value of i would be saved, then
i incremented, then the saved value would be assigned to the l-value
(left value) which in this case is i, setting i back to its original
value. You could use "i=++i" which would increment i, then save the r-
value and assign to the l-value, but then again, i++ would be much
simplier, no?
