    Quick syntax question

    I have been having trouble finding the syntax definition for this statement

    Code:
    while (unsigned_integer_variable-->0)
    {
           ...
    }
    Thanks in advance for any advice

    May-be it helps to add some whitespace:

    Code:
    while (unsigned_integer_variable-- > 0)
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
