![]() Python 3.8 introduced assignment expressions, but uses the walrus operator := instead of a regular equal sign (=) to avoid bugs which simply confuse = with =. In dynamic languages like JavaScript, linters such as ESLint can warn on assignment inside a conditional. Many compilers produce a warning for code such as if (myNumber = 42) (e.g., the GCC -Wall option warns suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value), which alerts the programmer to the likely mistake. Some programming languages (such as Swift, Kotlin and versions of Python below 3.8) do not allow variable assignments within conditionals-for example by requiring that assignments do not return a value, or by defining as part of their grammar the invariant that conditions cannot contain assignment statements-in which case this error is impossible to encounter (that is, it would be detected as a syntax error by the parser prior to a program ever being allowed to enter into runtime). ![]() Yoda conditions are criticized for compromising readability by increasing the cognitive load of reading the code. equals ( myString )) // This resolves to false without throwing a NullPointerException Criticism
