Probably, but is not exactly clear at first reading. You have to think it
through to see that it works. The primary purpose of any programming language
ought to be to help communicate your intentions to humans who read the code, so I
recommend that coders, as a first priority, try to make code clear before trying
to make it as fast as possible.
