What exactly does this line of code mean? int b= 1<--a

The full code: int a=5; int b=1<--a; How much is b after?

--a reduces a by 1 and returns the result. So it's the same as: b = 1<4; 1<4 is true, so b becomes 1. If it was false, b would become 0.

I mean the -- in the statement could be just a decrement operation and < could be comparison operator.

Isn't 1<--a almost same than 1 < (a - 1) ?
