# 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.
