Whether C is a modern language is arguable; it's at least thirty years old.

Of course it is not modern, but that was not the point. It is still widely used and taught, at least in those universities that don't prefer Java because they think pointers are too hard a concept for the young brains.

Sure it is. And JavaScript and PHP have increment operators, I think; those might be better examples to cite. If we must add more operators from C, I'd vote for | and &; writing Bitwise.BitAnd is so tiresome...
