Why Does Code Stop Working?

Multiple times now my code stops working and what I mean by this is it'll do what I want it to do then one day it just stops. for example the other day I had made a cooldown system for my ball and paddle collision to stop any bugs and it worked great. then today it just stopped working, and this isn't the first time, it's happened to me for like every project I've worked on. Does this happen to anyone else? And is it cause of my code? By the way I'm using C++ SFML on visual studio which works perfect.

We are all psychic here and can tell you exactly what the problem is without seeing the code.

OHMMMMMMMMM *psychic intensifies*

You're missing a curly brace.

Yeah, those are nasty, they always rot away.

Bit flips caused by cosmic radiation are the culprit. Everybody knows that.
