This is basic C: ++(x) means x=x+1 (x)++ means x=x+1 Differences are that if you use x++ the value of x is first used and then incremented. -- works the same way. x-=number means x=x-number I let you guess x+=number I hope this answers your questions KABIR >Now, my first set of questions: >1) what is the difference between the 'ch->', the '++ch->', and the >'--ch->' that's in this section? >2) unless the above question answers this in an obvious way, which one do >you use of the above three things for each real_abils modifier? >3) unless the above questions answer this in an obvious way, do any of the >above three things modify the real_abils in a way that adding a .dex+=2 or >.str-=1 wouldn't?
