Have they
#defined out the equals symbol? I don't think thatforloop is going to compile.The symbol they defined out is not the equals symbol but rather U+2550, so the for loop is fine.
why not? looks fine
The
#define =line would mean the=would be effectively removed, rendering thefora syntax error. That is, assuming it is an equals sign they've redefined, and not similar looking character.that's not a =, it's a โ (
U+2550 BOX DRAWINGS DOUBLE HORIZONTAL). you can tell because == doesn't connect but โโ does.Fair point, I wasn't sure it was the equals, hence my initial question. Drawing boxes with the box drawing characters does make a lot more sense.
It looks like a different symbol of you were to compare the characters length in pixels
the equals and the horizontal double bars seem different to me.
