+= help. (I hope this forum's active, I kinda need help fast

Okay, I'm probably going to sound really stupid here, and I know I know this, I've used it before, but for the life of me, at the moment, I can't bring it do mind. "x += y" means either:

"if x is more than or equal to y"

or:

"x = x + y"

I'm pretty sure it means the first one but...yeah.

I think this forum is dead dude XD. -not even member- What language are you programming in? I can try and help.  

[obliviousCrafter]

At the moment, GML, for Game Maker 7, because I'm helping out on a project.

I came here again just now actually to say that I found out.
I have a C++ for Dummies book laying around so I skimmed through it till I found the little bugger command.

+= at least in C++, and I'm guessing in GML too, does what I said it does.
Basically typeing

x += 2

is the exact same thing as typing

x = x + 2

.

OH!
But thanks, dude.

Hey, you seem like a cool programmer guy.
Feel like adding a freshling programmer on MSN or something?
I don't have any programmer friends to bug when I need help with stuff. >>

Plus, like I said, you seem cool. XD
Kinda one of those guy's who's just easy to get along with, you know? :3

I dont have an msn. And my main programming is in python, not C++ or any of that fancy stuff XD. Friend me though. I dont have many programmer friends either.  

[Slick_Gunner_Eclispe]

Yeah this guild is DEEEAD but incase anyone is reading, the code for the first one is x >= y
