For some reason, I cannot get the *= operator to work in RobotC 2.30 or 2.31 for Cortex.

For example, if I write something like this:

int bob = 2;
bob *= 2;

or bob = bob*2;

The value of bob, becomes 0 instead of the expected 4.

I just tested this with ROBOTC for NXT and Cortex and it works fine:

Well, I tried it again and I still couldn't get it to work.

However, if I do something like this:

int bob = 2;
int bobette = bob * 2;
bob = bobette;

Then in this case bob is equal to 4.

Do you have any idea why this might be the case?

Post your entire program, so I can do this with yours.

I just tested this and found it works fine. There is a case if you overflow the int it goes to zero which would stay zero as zero * anything = 0
