Inspectopedia 2024.3 Help

Result of assignment used

Reports an assignment expression where the result of the assignment is used in the containing expression. Such assignments often indicate coding errors, for example, = instead of ==. Moreover, they can result in confusion due to the order of operations, as evaluation of the assignment may affect the outer expression in unexpected ways.

Expressions in parentheses are ignored.
