Hi
I got this code:
(hours_worked-35)=overtime_hours;
(overtime_hours)-(hours_worked)=normal_hours;
I get this error:
error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
What does this mean?

Simply said : don't use a minus operator on the left side of an assignment operator.

> (hours_worked-35)=overtime_hours;
result = value;
copies value INTO result, not the other way round.

What they are trying to tell you is that you should always start these kinds of statements with the destination of outcome: outcome = 3-4; will result in 'outcome' being -1 3-4 = outcome; will result in your error

And you couldn't have said this at any time in the 14 days between now and your previous post?
Like a week ago, where we would have had plenty of time to walk you through it.
Now why is that (not that I really care about your answer)
