Can you write something like this in C with multiple assignment operations?

int a = 0, b = 0, c = 0, d = 0;
(((a = b) = c) = d);

I’ve read somewhere that C standard states that the result of this won’t be lvalue? is this undefined?

    You can do

    a = b = c = d;
    

    which is the same as

    a = (b = (c = d));
    

    As you say, the (sub-)expression (a = b) is not an lvalue and can’t be assigned a value.
