When defining "editing" why using these spaces?

In video the instructor writes like this:

ng-click=" editing = !editing "

when these also work:

ng-click="editing = !editing"

and even

ng-click="editing=!editing"

Is there some common practise when writing these kinds in Angular?

At the same time in javascript normally you would see not equal as != and not other way around =!. This confuses me a bit.

You always want to write code that is easier to understand. Each way you've provided the code will work, but with spacing it makes things a lot easier on the eyes so generally developers will lean towards the second way. It makes for a much cleaner presentation when you have to show and explain code as well.
