Thanks, L~R. That first trick seems useful... I'll work hard to adopt it.
I've come across the second before as I have some C experience. Initially, I found it useful. After using it for a few months I realised I'd gotten into the habit of writing
if (constant == variable)
... so I deliberately switched back to writing
if (variable == constant)
... and I haven't made the 'one-equals' mistake since. For me it was a good mental training exercise.
Oh, and I'm reading the refactoring post now. Ta.
