syntax question

[Chris]

can you assign values to variables like:
int x, y, z = 5;
so that x = 5, y = 5, and z = 5?

thanks for any help!

Not in an initializer.

You can however do
int x,y,z;
x = y = z = 5;

oh, duh. Thanks

But in fact it works in an initializer, at least in my VC++.
int x = y = z = 5;

int x,y,z;
x = y = z = 5;

Only if y and z were already declared.

Try the following on your VC++ and please report back on the results:

int main()
{
int x = y = z = 5;
}

Best regards,

try:

That's funny, it doesn't work on my g++. Can we talk about Standard C++ now?

Your question is ambiguous.

Are you defining objects and initialising them, or are you simply performing
an assignment with previously defined objects?

If the former, then:

int const val=5;

int x=val,y=val,z=val;

If the latter:

z=5;

x=y=z;

(Assignment binds from right to left, so that is equivalent to:

x=(y=z);
