Question

This is probably a really basic syntax question, but I can’t find the answer.

Can anyone tell me what this expression means?

objPoint.x = -objPoint.x; 

As a note, objPoint is a CGPoint

Thanks!

Answer 1

You change the horizontal coordination to its negative.

Another example is that:

x = 7;
x = -x;

Then it will become x = -7;

This is the evaluation process:

The evaluation process will be ran in the right hand side first, so the process is:

replace x with 7, the right hand side of -x will become -7.

then assign it to the left hand side: x = -7;
