the "-" will be treated as minus (maths)
same with other chars as well * / +

I am assuming that isNotSelected is your own function.

If you give me the whole script assuming it is small I can help you.

You cannot use the negitive sign as a variable idetifier. You should use underscore instead or even $

Dont use any aritmetic operators as any part of an identifier
