C++ Incrementing Brain

i = i + 2; i += 2; ++i++;

A three-panel programming joke shows increasingly enlightened brains alongside progressively shorter ways to add 2 to the variable i. The punchline is that the final expression, “++i++;”, looks like an even more advanced solution but is invalid C++ because the variable is incremented twice in an illegal way. It is shared as a reaction to overcomplicated or confidently incorrect programming.
