Just a quick question about the language... I've come across people using += and -= in their programs. I couldn't find any answers online or on the site, so could anyone tell me what it does? |

Those are accumulate operators. They say "add everything on the right to the variable on the left". The statement x += 5 is equivalent to x = x + 5. |

in Turing that represents 'not equal to'. It's the same as writing 'not='. Most other languages use ! as the not operator. |
