EXP18-EX3: Assignment can be used in the above contexts if it occurs in a function argument or array index. In this compliant example, the expression x = y is used in a function argument:

 

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
langc
if ( foo( x = y ) ) { /* ... */ } 

This is a noncompliant example because && is not a comparison or relational operator and the entire expression is not primary:

Code Block
bgColor#FFcccc
langc
if ( ( v = w ) && flag ) { /* ... */ }

When the assignment of v to w is not intended, this conditional block is now executed when v is equal to w:

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
langc
if ( ( v == w ) && flag ) { /* ... */ }; 

When the assignment is intended, the following is an alternative compliant solution:

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
langc
if ( ( (v = w) != 0 ) && flag ) { /* ... */ };
