I remember having copied an interpreter for a c like language called “C - -“ (without the spaces), from a shareware cd-rom. It didn’t have pointers (minus pointers), and also was missing something else (the other minus). Was it that language?

Sort of off topic but I am guessing you put space between those two minus signs because iOS turns two consecutive minus signs into “—”; the “em dash”. To get around that problem, first type either as you did minus space minus, or another character between. Then long press the space bar on your onscreen keyboard so it becomes the movable cursor, move back one step and erase the character you put between. I like to use “.” as the temporary character in between because it keeps you on the symbols keyboard and is close to the dash.

  You could also go to Settings, Keyboards, and uncheck Smart Punctuation.

    True. Personally I generally like the smart punctuation though, and will rather work around the few cases where it does something I don’t want.

  When will our tools stop imposing "their" will upon us? I still miss simple T9 correction whenever i want to type a word on Android: it was harder to get it right, but once it was the word didn't change under your feet the second you pressed space to write another word.
