Because beginners could get confused when seeing the operators in other people&#x27;s code, for example.<p>I remember the day I first saw a &#x27;++&#x27;. It was a rainy night, and I was inspecting a colleague&#x27;s for loop, when suddenly a &#x27;++&#x27; operator appeared. I asked myself, &quot;What in the holy bacon of Zeus is that?&quot; So I looked it up in my book. My head almost exploded, and I asked myself if I should quit programming immediately. It was simply too complicated. After four months of agony and pain I finally recovered and started programming again. And yet... Sometimes, when it&#x27;s raining outside, the memories come back. Programming... No, my <i>life</i> will never be the same again.
