Hi,
I having a hard time finding an online explanation of syntax involving
">?="
For example

int ret = somevalue;
int cur = somevalue;

ret >?= cur;

Can someone please explain this concept? If you have a online source,
that would be even better.

thanks

`<?' , `>?', '<?=' and `>?=' are all old non-standard G++
extensions.
These deprecated operators were removed from GCC 4.2.
Use std::min and std::max instead, please.

You will have to search a long time before you find it because it is not
in the C++ language. Perhaps you meant the conditional operator "?:" or
the trigraph "??="?

IIRC, that is a GCC extension, so you would be best off looking in the GCC
documentation. From memory, I think it simply performs an assignment
conditionally based on which of the two operands is greater, i.e. the code
is equivalent to

ret = std::max( ret, cur);

or maybe

if(cur>ret)
ret = cur;
