Thanks for the ideas! Actually these yielded some interesting results:
a = 0 + ((x * 100) + y); occasionally yielded 0 (as expected), but never yielded
anything other than 0 and the correct value (that I saw).
a = ((x * 100) + y); and a = (x * 100 + y); seemed to improve things, they never
produced just x, but occasionally produced x*100, although much less often than
the no bracket version (using my admittedly inaccurate statistical "analysis").
So all that goes to show I have no idea how it handles calculations/assignments
like that, and I should stick to using the temporary variable ;)
