[Gretl-devel] Incrementing using the '++' operator

Hi all, I really like the C-style if-else syntax as well as the C-style '++' and '--' operators for incrementing and decrementing a number, respectively. But I am surprised to see that the following does not work: <hansl> scalar s = 0 loop i=1..2 -q     catch s = (i==1) ? 1 : +1    # no effect     s     catch s = (i==1) ? 1 : s++    # no effect     s     catch s = (i==1) ? 1 : s+1    # works as intended     s endloop </hansl> Why is the 2nd approach not working here? Thanks, Artur
