You know, there's another way to avoid that mistake if you're willing to
change your style a little bit. In all logical tests, put the variable on
the RIGHT side.
if (5 == x)
instead of
if (x == 5)
When you forget to use the equality symbol, you get an instant compile error.
if (5 = x) <<you can't perform that assignment>>
if (x = 5) << you can perform that assignment, but your program doesn't do
what you expected... what went wrong? >>
Flipping your terms around like that works great in C, too.
