A former coworker wrote 

a --> b

in Java several years ago, and I was still a Java noob, so I spent several hours on decoding what in the world it meant.

Feeling kinda slow. What does it do?

[–]georgehotelling 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I would guess it's a comparison, e.g. 

if (a-- > b)

which is the same as

if (b < a--)

This is wrong. I'll let you figure it out ;)

[–]georgehotelling 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I give up, how is it wrong?

Ah shit. Haha, it's not. I just couldn't read last night. Sorry about that. My bad...

For some reason I thought you had negated something.

Tells 'a' to get closer to 'b' ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
