[Mono-dev] Mono.CSharp: Evaluating math expressions

[Petr Onderka]

Interestingly, it gives another error to me:

> error CS0128: A local variable named `j' is already defined in this scope

But in both cases, the problem is the same: i*j is interpreted as
declaring a variable called j, whose type is a pointer to type i.
This is certainly not what you want, but I'm not sure what else could
you do to avoid this issue.

Your parenthesized version works, because you can't declare a variable
inside parentheses.
