Oh, gosh! You’re right! See what I mean about the hubris? Haha, I tested it about 4–5 times and got the “1” result each time, and then added a space and immediately got the “3” result so I thought the space was necessary! After I read your response, I went back, removed the space and tested it a few more times and you are totally right: the space is not necessary and I had just happened to get the first result many times in a row… so. Hubris.
haha.
THANK YOU!
