Using result of comma operator as l-value is not valid in C. But in C++, result of comma operator can be used as l-value if the right operand of the comma operator is l-value.
For example, if we compile the following program as a C++ program, then it works and prints b = 30. And if we compile the same program as C program, then it gives warning/error in compilation (Warning in Dev C++ and error in Code Blocks).
#include<stdio.h> int main() { int a = 10, b = 20; (a, b) = 30; // Since b is l-value, this statement is valid in C++, but not in C. printf("b = %d", b); getchar(); return 0; } |

C++ Output:
b = 30
