I think the idea is that you might put
=instead of==by accident. Very difficult to debug, this would be.That said, in languages like JS and PHP that have the concept of
===, the Yoda syntax becomes a bit irrelevant. I guess the key is consistency. So my advice would be, in the words of the great Jedi Master himself:You got it 👌
Ha sorry not a one liner :D
Usually, they are used to avoid accidental variable assignments (
varX = 10).Exactly
Aren't they both the same?
More or less. Usually the constant portion of a conditional statement is placed on the right side. Yoda conditions reverse this typical order. This should avoid certain errors. Yet, their use is controversial.
Same ofcourse but they are in place to avoid those million dollar bug NASA scientists creates years ago
Wow really, didn't know about that million dollar bug! Maybe I will convert to start using them :D :D
