    According to the MSDN it should be one of what the error message says:

    • assignment statement

    • invocation of a method

    • prefix or postfix increment expression, such as ++i or i++

    • prefix or postfix decrement expression, such as –i or i–

    • creation of an object by using new

    • await expression

    One of the weird compilable solutions would be:

    i += length < 0 ? -1 : 1
