Answer 5

You can use x=+2 but it means something different.
Namely assigning a positive 2.

That's why i prefer using spaces, you'll notice the difference much better:

x = +2 (plus belongs to 2)
x += 2 (plus belongs to operator)

Answer 6

ya sure....thank you...

Answer 7

hi, what language are y talking about? In some language you can use both (with different effect )

Answer 8

I don't use C, and I don't know if is possible use both. I remember this about C++

x=1

cout<< x=+2 this print 1 and after add 2

cout<<x+=2 this sum 2 snd after print 3

This is wrong. This won't even compile, because you can't assign a value in a cout statement.

What you probably meant is pre and post increment

int x = 1;
cout<<x++; //prints 1, x is 2 afterwards
cout<<++x; //prints 2, x is 2 afterwards
