HAY GUYS WUT DO U THINK OF THIS

"On Wednesday, June 28, 2006 you asked the following question;

this loop:

while(*(string1++)=*(string2++));

when does it ends?

The following answer has just been sent to you;

It doesn't if this is in C++. You assigned string2 to string1. == is for comparisons. fuckin' n00b."

i lold

Isn't that a bug as written?  Shouldn't it be

while(*dest++=*src++);

?

After all, you don't want to increment your pointer before you dereference and make your first character copy, which is what the current parentheses will do.  Same reason that

while(*++dest=*++src);

is wrong.
