The difference between x -= 1
and x =- 1
is just one space, but the consequences are catastrophic. One decrements a variable, the other assigns negative one and destroys whatever value you were working with. Hours of debugging later, you're staring at your screen wondering why your algorithm produces garbage when the fix was just moving a single character. Spaces matter. Just like your relationship status.
