How am I supposed to see this equal sign? My browser just doesn't render it.

This is nonsense.



Did you read the article? That's kind of the point, that you don't see it visually, but when you copy/paste it then it's there. If you evaluate the code with your brain you'll get the correct answer, but copy and paste it and the answer is different.


I copy/pasted it into my editor to see it larger. I still used my brain. This 'test' is not a true test but a trick, and the trick doesn't have to do with programming ability.


Why would I copy paste the code somewhere?

It's a tiny code snippet that I was going to evaluate visually on the author's website.


Misunderstanding this 15 second article even when explained in a reply to you is probably also a good filter for applicants
