Wish inline add/subtract etc.

New feature - inline casting

Dim Buttons As List = Array(Button1, Button2, Button3, Button4, Button5) Dim btn As B4XView = Buttons.Get(1) btn.Text = "boring" Buttons.Get As B4XView(2).Text = "less boring" Button5.Text = Buttons.Get As B4XView(2).Text Dim m As Map = CreateMap("ttt": " 123 ;lkasd ") Button4.Text = m.Get...

I like to take this opportunity to again request for 'inline add/subtract'

now:
a = a + 1
b = b - 1
c = c * 2

request:
a ++
b --
c *= 2

request:
a ++
b --
c *= 2

Already requested multiple times by several B4X users...

Yes

take this opportunity to again request

Exactly my point, so why request it again when you already know that it's been requested previously. Erel already knows about this request as it's been requested at least twice if not three times previously???

I added the reference of inline casting. Which I thought may give a push for it.

Clearly, the next logical step for this thread is for you two to fight to the death.

Yes, this is a joke. Yes, I sometimes joke in bad taste. Yes, it's bad. Yes, I should stop. Yes, I write what the voices in my head dictate.

I understand why @AnandGupta repeated this "wish"; I'd say it makes sense.

 

[Ilya G.]

It would be very convenient!

 

[LucaMs]

It is not essential but it is comfortable and nice.

Thanks to the fact that the B4X text editor remembers the last variable you used, it is also convenient enough to write its name twice (MyVar = MyVar + 1)

It is also a compiler feature, I presume, and if Erel wishes ? it will happen, when he has time.
