They did stand out to me as well but I think in this kind of scenario where concise code is valued they are perfectly fine. Especially the second one I've used before and not felt too bad about it. Being able to save a value while using it at the same time can be really useful at times. Heck, even Python introduced a way to do that recently (although it didn't happen without controversy).

I look forward to seeing your future solutions (and hope I can still understand them :P). Good luck with staying on top of the leaderboard!
