The use of operators pairs (=+
, =-
or =!
) where the reversed, single operator was meant (+=
,
-=
or !=
) will compile and run, but not produce the expected results.
This rule raises an issue when =+
, =-
and =!
are used without any space between the two operators and when
there is at least one whitespace after.
let target =-5; let num = 3; target =- num; // Noncompliant; target = -3. Is that really what's meant? target =+ num; // Noncompliant; target = 3
let target = -5; let num = 3; target = -num; // Compliant; intent to assign inverse value of num is clear target += num;
