Charles G Waldman <cgw@fnal.gov>: > The other point - "=" vs "==" - is a bit harder to answer. I think the reason this causes so much trouble is that many programming languages, not to mention mainstream mathematics, use "=" to mean what C uses "==" for. Other such pairs in C, e.g. "&" vs "&&" and "+" vs "++", don't seem to cause anywhere near as much difficulty, so I don't think the problem is one of visual confusion, but of semantic confusion.
