Other than to create confusion, does the unary plus operator serve any
purpose at all?
All C# numeric types have a unary plus. The syntax is something like:
x = +y;
where +y is the same value as y, whether positive or negative.

Well, you can use it to neatly line up positive and negative values in
a monospaced font... other than that I don't know!

Michael,
This is one of those things where any reference you care to hunt down
quotes the same exact definition, which tells me that no one has a
coherent explanation. It is probably an item of esoterica that's thrown
in for "completene ss" from the perspective of the language designer, but
I can't think of a use for us mere mortals, except that tutorials feel
obligated to mention it because it's there ;-)

I was checking the Prolog recipe in the Cookbook:
http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/303057
It's a clever implementation that explores some aspects of Python that
I wasn't aware of. One of them is the unary plus operator, that calls
the __pos__ method. It's something that can be highly useful in my own
experiments with the use of classes as a tool for generic declarative
descriptions of objects -- UI forms,...

Can we consider () unary operator when calling a function, in exps eq.
f(), ( 1 + 2). But when we call function f( 10 ) it is a binary
operator. Even if we pass f( 10, 20) as we are using , operator there
one operand will be there for ()?
And Unary operators like !, +, -, ~, ... are said to be having
associativity right to left which means that we can write, (but not
allowed)
1. 2!
2. !2

Hi to everybody,
I am begginer in C programming language.
My simple doubt is the difference between postfix & prefix unary

Hi,
I've been lurking on clc for a few months now, and want to start by
thanking the regulars here for opening my eyes to a whole new dimension
of "knowing c". Considering I had never even touched the standards a
year ago, though I graduated in embedded SW development...
Anyway, to the problem at hand: I've stumbled upon the following
construct at work recently, and cannot really make up my mind about the
standard's take on the matter.

I'm trying to get a good understanding of how unary operators work and
have some questions about the following test snippets.
int *p;
~!&*++p--;
It doesn't compile, why? The problem seems to be the ++, the compiler
says: "Error: invalid l-value in increment".
int i = 10;
~!*&i++;

How may operators and operands does (typename) expression has?
I'd say one operator, the cast operator, and two operands: typename
and expression.
But everywhere I read, cast is categorized as an unary operator. Why
is that? Is it just a syntax cotegory?
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
