No. The compiler complains about "expected expression before '{' token". 
We can avoid it if the assignment is with the declaration but then we 
can't re-use the variable op for the second command.

I like the cast better than using separate variables for the two (or 
more in other cases) commands we execute.

Ok. Will change it.

Ok.
