Level 4 was the hardest because I got confused about precedence rules. It was a little confusing to see programming conventions for equal signs in a non-programming context; I definitely don't think it would be clear to a non-programmer that \"=\" means \"right-hand side is set to left-hand side\" and \"==\" means \"satisfy this equality statement\". But once I figured it out I had a lot of fun. And completing 0==0 to exit at the end was such a cute detail! Very good job on this.

I was considering removing some of the steps required to solve it, but never got around to it due to the time constraints.
