A question, variable, set and retrieve among others

by rennie moffat · in Torque Game Builder · 12/17/2009 (3:07 pm) · 3 replies

Hi I just want to confirm something.


total += 5;
is the same as
total = total + 5



:?


tho. due to Torque I can also use
total += 5
to continually add up in say a schedule or onUpdate function?

When you have a programming question, please check this first.

Also, the title of your post should be "Question about addition operator".

Well, thanks sir henry william. I appreciate it. I guess maybe the questions are much. Is there anyone willing to help me via private email?


I am currently reading C++ for Dummies, everything is clicking now. Up until recently did i realize left and right sides were very important in programming, not like my math background, say algebra. Programming is a different beast.


Anyhow, with the one variable can only be one thing, ever, me thinks programming is a good way to create an entire universe for yourself, friends and family.


So, I am asking, if any one or ones would like me / allow me/ put up with occasional questions about the basics of C++ and its relations/equivalents in Torque Script I would appreciate it. Thank you very much.
