Adding/Subtracting a int

[Alkor]

Okay, dumb question...

PlayerX --;

How could I get this to subtract lets say 5.

Thanks!

Use an assignment statement.

[Alkor]

If i assign it then i cant add more to it later on...

[jcarosella10]

use the -= operator, which is equivalent to
PlayerX = PlayerX - x;

so do

PlayerX -= 5;

i cant add more to it later on..

You can add and subtract many times. That is why they are called variables.

hahahahahaha
if i could like that reply, i would.

[Alkor]

Thanks jcarosella10, thats what i was looking for

[jcarosella10]

your welcome. That works for all the operations like +=, *=, /=

[Norm]

It is still an assignment statement.

[jcarosella10]

I know. I don't think he knows though

@op, *=, +=, -=, /=, and %= are equivalent to

int x = 1;
x = x + 1;

In this snippet, I should +=, it should be obvious what the other ones look like.
