Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Using <- instead of ← in mathematical notation

Fix: Use ← (←) for leftwards arrows in mathematics. The ASCII <- notation is not standard mathematical notation.

⚠️

Mistake: Confusing ← (left arrow) with ⇐ (left double arrow)

Fix: Use ← for simple direction and ⇐ (⇐) for logical "if" (Q ⇐ P means "Q if P").
