    That’s not a real operator. You’ve put a space in “i–” and removed the space in “-- >”. The statement is “while i-- is greater than zero”. Inventing an unnecessary “goes to” operator just confuses beginners and adds something else to think about while debugging.

    And yes I have seen beginners try to use <-- and --<. Just stop it.

      The sheer number of people that do not expect a joke on this community… (Really, if you are trying to learn how to program pay attention to the one without the Humor on the name, not here.)

      Well, I guess nobody expects.
