And since == is a symmetric operation

Which is the reason I often put the constant first. Turning an == into an = accidentally results in a non symmetric operation which is illegal when the left side is a constant. Which helps catch silly mistakes that the compiler doesnt notice (like in the conditional part of a ternary op.)
