Sone questions, what's the result of:

a:=2;
a*=a++;

and:

a:=1;
a:=a++1;

Algebra says one thing, and C a different one. Are ++ operators right
to left ?

And how about non commutative operators ?

a:=1;
a:=2 div a;

How to write it shorter ?

a*=b - 2;

How is this resolved ? a:=a*b-2 or a:=a*(b-2) ?
