a <op>= y is an "abbreviated way" for writing a = a <op> (y)
ie: a += 10 --> a = a + 10
~myvar is a binary inversion of an integral variable

the beauty of C are these little cryptic things :) once you
learn them.. you love em :) wait until you start seeing things
like this:
i++, ++i and a combination: i+++++i :)
there are even competitions on this type of thing.. how to
write useful programs that are totally illegible :)
The International Obfuscated C Code Contest
ftp://ftp.uu.net/pub/ioccc/
if you get time.. check em out :)) some amusing stuff there
to get started, be sure to buy the C programmers BIBLE :)
which is available on amazon or you can probably find it
in your library (it is that old).. here are the details:
ISBN 0131103628
The C Programming Language
Brian Kernighan, Dennis Ritchie
hope this helps.
cheers.
