Assignment used as condition
Reports assignments that are used as a condition of an if
, while
, for
, or do
statement, or a conditional expression.
Although occasionally intended, this usage is confusing and may indicate a typo, for example, =
instead of ==
.
The quick-fix replaces =
with ==
.
Example:
void update(String str, boolean empty) {
// Warning: 'empty' is reassigned,
// not compared to str.isEmpty()
if (empty = str.isEmpty()) {
...
}
}
After the quick-fix is applied:
void update(String str, boolean empty) {
if (empty == str.isEmpty()) {
...
}
}
