I finally came to the realization that C needs a concurrent assignemnt statement. The syntax would be like the following: x,y,z = 1,2,3; which would make x=1, y=2, and z=3. This would also be used to swap values, such as: x,y = y,x; This would be equivalent to the following: z = x; x = y; y = z; -bryon lape-
