Value incorrectly assigned, causing unintended outcomes.
[ FAQ1 ]
What is incorrect assignment?
Incorrect assignment refers to bugs where a developer unintentionally assigns values incorrectly, such as assigning values to the wrong variable or using the assignment operator (
=
) instead of a comparison operator (==
or ===
) in conditional statements. These mistakes result in logic errors, unintended overwriting of values, or incorrect conditional evaluations. Such errors compromise code correctness, potentially leading to subtle bugs that can be difficult to detect and diagnose, affecting overall software reliability and functionality.[ FAQ2 ]
