And for clarity, when I say "conditional," I mean

Code:

If (some comparison performed between value 1 and value 2 happens to be true) then

    (do something)

else

    (do something else)

end if

In C++, it's quite possible to stuff value 1 and/or value 2, with an assignment statement that contains a computation, within the if-then construct itself, like so:

Code:

if ((unsigned int a = 3 * b + c) == 4) doSomething;

It's certainly valid for C++, but it's frowned upon because it's not all that readable and can lead to very subtle bugs due to programmers mistakenly using "=" when they meant to type "==".
