Public service announcement: If you can&#x27;t keep this stuff straight, C++ may not be for you.<p>Edit: I&#x27;m only half-joking.  Removing postincrement and postdecrement from C++, as some people are suggesting, would be like removing the oil filler cap from a chain saw.  The tool would still be dangerous to use, but now it&#x27;s annoying to use as well.
