# Downto Operator

In C the so called "downto" operator is a joke played on nubs. It goes like this: Did you know C has a hidden downto operator `-->`? Try it:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(void)
    {
      int n = 20;

      while (n --> 10) // n goes down to 10
        printf("%d\n",n);

      return 0;
    }

Indeed this compiles and works. In fact `-->` is just `--` and `>` operators.
