Yoda Condition? by Karleb(op): 4:20pm On Jan 08, 2021

You might have probably seen something like this before now.

if (5 == $five);

It's called Yoda condition, you check the reverse.

I see this a lot in PHP codes and there are arguments as to why it is better than the normal comparison.

Personally, I don't like it.

Is it really necessary?

it helps to avoid a bug where you mistakenly type "=" instead of "=="
