official term for the -- operator?
Interesting. So my supposition about double negation, which I said was
incorrect, was correct. Talk about double negation.
Thanks.

the unary minus operator which negates its argument.
Then the second unary minus operator converts it to positive.

Is there an official term for the double hyphen operator, -- ?
Double hyphen doesn't really sound informative. Double negation is not
the
answer because -- does not make negative numbers positive.
So???
