check entry 26...

wonder how that happened

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.

And i thought i was okai at math O.O

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

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