| Of course you can! For example, a simple string copy function:

Except that you're not assigning to a ++ expression in this example.
The ++ expression is a pointer, and you're assigning to what the
pointer points to. You couldn't assign to 'to++' if you wanted to.
The statement still stands (as well it should):
You can't assign to a ++ expression.
