J3/04-223 Date: 2004-01-28 To: J3 From: fortran.com Subject: Add unary operators, ++, += etc. Reference: Pub-113 This was submitted by David Simpson david.simpson@met.no =========================================================== Number: Title: Add unary operators, ++, += etc. Submitted by: J3 Status: For Consideration References: Basic Functionality: Add the C-like operators: ++, +=, *=, etc., so that one can write: x(i,j,k,n) += value instead of x(i,j,k,n) = x(i,j,k,n) + value Rationale: Gives shorter, clearer code Less error-prone Standard in many other languages Estimated Impact: Should be easy to implement? Only affects current line, so no negative impacts on code logic Detailed Specification: History: Submitted as Pub-113
