You posted your question in the C/C++ forum and overhere that gibberish is just
a syntax error.

Yup, gibberish as I wrote in my previous reply; no need to ask again.
That non-expression just doesn't make sense in C/C++.

Agree. I never seen <? ever in C/C++

x += b[i] can be translated to

x = x + b[i];

Well, I can't acces that page because it wants a password, but if it has that angle bracket and question mark, "<?", I'm pretty sure it's wrong. Maybe it's a comment?

Looks like PHP to me, unless someone didn't understand the ternary operator..

I took my answer from another forum:

//
<? was a (now deprecated) operator that is the same as the min operator.
So, b[i] <? mid is the same as min(b[i], mid).

It was in gcc and the other compilers but not in VS.

and I think that prejudges are dangerous.
