Yoda condition

noun1

1. •
   (informal) A logical condition with the usual order of operands reversed for various reasons, such as avoiding the accidental misuse of = (assignment) instead of == (equality), an error that is harder to spot when using the normal order of operands.

   • A great convention to stick to, the Yoda condition requires you to keep the comparison variable on the right side of the conditional statement. — 2013
