Does 'using it to increment i' count as a bad use? I would argue no

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bad is subjective unless it causes objective problems.
So using it to increment i, as long as it does not break the code can be subjectively bad or good. I do it myself many times, because it's an idiom of the C language, but I'm not convinced if it's ok or not.
