Check the clan name. It's -=.

Tha's an operator in C/C++.

a-=b means a=a-b. So I'm guessing it's probably some exploit.

They still rank as #26 and not #1 though ;)

Yup, i was thinking of SQL injection too. Or maybe its a total of all clans and someone at NGD has accidentally written it to the database.

a=a-b How is that possible? If a = 1 and b = 2, it would be 1 = 1 - 2.

Yes, here "a" will have the value of -1 after execution. It is not maths as you think of it but here the = is an assignment operator.

In a=a-b, the "=" symbol is not the "equality operator" (which is ==), but "=" the affection operator. It means that a will take the value of the current a - b.

Thanks, I finally know why programmers use == instead of =.

thats the first time i hear about C-injection ^^


could be some corrupt entry in the database too. doesnt have to be an injection attack of some kind

I'm not sure that's a C/C++ exclusive operator, it could be in php too. It's more likely that it's a php injection actually, since it only displays 35mil rp. it still ranks them as #26.

REAL programmers (with buterflies) use = (as equal) and := (as affectation) :eguitar:
