Inspectopedia Help

Assignment used as condition

Reports an assignment that is used as the condition of an if, while, for, or do statement. Although occasionally intended, this usage is confusing, and often indicates a typo (for example, = instead of ==).

Locating this inspection

Can be used to locate inspection in e.g. Qodana configuration files, where you can quickly enable or disable it, or adjust its settings.
