While this is undoubtedly true, there is also the case of accidental assignment.
For example:
if (undefined = "something") {}
This is merely a case of stupidity, not madness. :-)
- lutusp 13y ago> if (undefined = "something") {} Seasoned programmers avoid the possibility of inadvertent assignment by reversing the order of the arguments as a matter of habit: if ("something" = undefined) {} If (42 = secret_of_the_universe) {} Also, they try to avoid languages that use "=" as an equality test as well as an assignment operator. Early BASIC was infamous for this. > This is merely a case of stupidity, not madness. Must agree there. :)
