Where did he use "=" instead of "=="?

I know "=" assigns a value to a variable, and "==" compares two variables. iv'e been writing conditional statements and loops most of the evening actually, so i guess my brain may be a bit fried and i'm not seeing something right in front of me.

He didn’t - but the fact that you're still asking me is proves the point of how easy a typo it is to overlook, and it's one that you will make if you type enough comparisions.  This is a good way to prevent it from being a headache later.

I'll admit it does depend on language - but the only language I've had major experience with which wasn't subject to this was COBOL, and that's because it's long-winded enough that it's not using the same operators.

(And @kfsone - I've worked in some of the languages you're using as examples against - and they allowed it.  Heck, I originally learned this in best practices for one of them.  I'd have to analyse a bit to figure out what's going on in your examples - but this digression has gone on plenty long enough.  Suffice I think it's common enough to think about, but that you do have to be aware of what you're comparing.  This is really only relevant for simple constants/comparisons - anything else and it doesn't work anyway.)

Well yeah; though i seem to misplace brackets or semi-colons more than flub on a comparison xD

It caught me by surprise early on, when I moved from BCPL to C, took me weeks to figure out the bug the first time. SAS C wasn't terribly generous with errors/warnings  but I was also writing a compiler generator so I had several layers to try and figure out.

Case 3 won't compile

Ah yees, because is Eeloo really a planet?

In the (not-so) fictional universe where the programmer made a typo.

IF you get in the habit of writing it "if string value == variable" then your typos generate errors. If you get in the habit of writing "if variable == string value" then your typos generate bugs that you may not notice until a long time later.

Sure - golang turned 130,000 lines+ - snipped-

I'm expecting people to take certain things for granted here, so I acknowledge that I'm not providing end-to-end concrete proof that all other possibilities aren't in play. If you're actually interested, there's plenty of good stuff on language design and parsing out there

Was this what you were asking or were you referring back earlier to my example of XML vs CFG vs JSON?

That was what I was looking for, thanks for the clarification.

I would suggest you guys take this to the international subforum. This is the english forum section.

I hope that they store the part models as either an .Stl file or an .Obj so that I can mess around with it or 3D print my own rocket.
