Just one single character or letter makes the difference between a program that runs and one that does not even compile.

You can make a typo or spelling mistake in a text, a mail or a post on the Internet and will probably still be understood. On a program, no typo allowed, zero tolerance, it will just not run most of the time (and it is even worse if it runs and does something else than what you wanted).

Je suis Charlie.
