Are there any recommendations about writing constants on the left of comparison operator equal to == in If statement in C++ to avoid bug if assignment will be mistyped. Is it a good practice ? or this will reduce code readability and not recommended to do that, as there is a Compiler Warning (level 4) C4706 in case if assignment within conditional expression will be written.
const int maxValue = 15;
1)
if (currentValue == maxValue)
{
// do something
}
(
if operator equal to == will mistyped to assignment operator =, currentValue = maxValue the if will be always true as anything that isn’t zero is “true”
Or better to write
2)
if (maxValue == currentValue)
{
// do something
}
