What is the difference between if(CONST==variable) or if(variable==CONST)?

Question

Is there a difference in the order of the comparison operator?

#define CONST_VALUE 5

int variable;

...

if ( variable == CONST_VALUE )   // Method 1
...

O         


        

Answer 1

As others mentioned, CONST_VALUE == variable avoids the = typo.

I still do "variable == CONST_VALUE", because I think its more readable and when I see something like:

if(false == somevariable)

my bloodpressure goes up.
