# Downto Operator
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In [C](c.md) the so called "downto" operator is a [joke](jokes.md) played on nubs. It goes like this: Did you know C has a hidden downto operator `-->`? Try it:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int main(void)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
int n = 20;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
while (n --> 10) // n goes down to 10
|
||
|
|
printf("%d\n",n);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
return 0;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Indeed this compiles and works. In fact `-->` is just `--` and `>` operators.
