Avoid assignments in operands

Rule ID

SF-0060

Impact

Assignments in operands make code more complicated and harder to read. Also it can be a signal of a poorly-defined equality operator (assignment operator ‘=’ was used instead of the equality operator ‘==’."") which will produce unwanted results.

Remediation

This is sometime indicative of the bug where the assignment operator ‘=’ was used instead of the equality operator ‘==’.""
