Disallow the use of yoda expressions.
A Yoda expression is a programming style where, given a binary operation, the “static” part of the binary operation is placed on the left-hand side. This rule forbids the use of Yoda expressions and enforces the placing of the “static” part of the binary operations on the right-hand side.
Exceptions
Section titled ExceptionsRange expressions like 0 < value && value < 1 or value <= 0 || 1 < value are allowed.
