# V6041\. Suspicious assignment inside the conditional expression of 'if/while/do\.\.\.while' statement\.

The analyzer has detected an 'if'/ 'while'/'do\.\.\.while' statement whose conditional expression contains the assignment operator '\='\. Such constructs often signal the presence of errors\. The programmer probably intended to use the '\=\=' operator rather than '\='\.

Consider the following example:

```cpp
void func(int x, boolean skip, ...)
{
  if (skip = true) {
    return;
  }
  ...
  if ((x > 50) && (x < 150)) {
    ...
  }
  ...
}
```

This code has a typo in it: rather than checking the 'skip' variable, the programmer is changing its value\. As a result, the condition will always be true and the 'return' statement will be executed all the time\. Fixed code:

```cpp
if (skip == true){
  return; 
}
```

or:

```cpp
if (skip){
  return; 
}
```
