What I was saying is that it did not take the most recent value of i for the addition

	int i = 1;
	int j = 2;

	j += (i += 2) + (i += 2);

	// i = 5, j= 10
	Console.WriteLine("i = {0}, j = {1}", i, j);
	Console.ReadLine();

>Solving this in my mind gives 7 for the first and 9 for the second with exact same reasoning as Cetin showed.

>But I would always prefer to write this directly without ++, --, etc., since it makes some confusion.
