Well, if you'll forgive the snarky comment:
C/C++ rarely behave as expected.

It's at such a point where there are many C-ism rules/tricks for
ensuring better chances of a successful compile, one of which is to
use "0=3D=3Dvar" instead of "var=3D=3D0" to mitigate the C-Syntax allowance=
 of
assignments during condition-testing. Another is that the operator-
shortcut's (like -=3D, +=3D, *=3D, /=3D) regularity fails when you reach
logical-negation: !=3D is a condition test, not a shortcut for "x =3D !x."
