Operators: Simple & Complex

"Can this operation be broken down in a trace-block?"

---

Simple

let a = 3 + 4;
// --- trace-blocked ---
let a = 3 + 4;

Complex 1

let a = 1;
let b = a++;
// --- trace-blocked ---
let a = 1;
let b;
{ // a++
  b = a;
  a = a + 1;
};

Complex 2

let a = 1;
let b = ++a;
// --- trace-blocked ---
let a = 1;
let b;
{ // ++a
  a = a + 1;
  b = a;
};

---

But it's not always so simple:

Simple

let a = 3 + 4;
// --- trace-blocked ---
let a = 3 + 4;

Complex

let a = 3 + "4";
// --- trace-blocked ---
let a;
{ // = 3 + "4";
  const step_1 = String(3);
  const step_2 = step_1 + "4";
  a = step_2;
};
