In your project, If you are using if condition like
enum
{
Blue_c,
Yellow_c,
Red_c
};
int color;
if( color == yellow_c)
{
.....
......
}
or
if(color != Red_c)
{
....
.....
}
Now you know by mistake if you forget one = or !
means if(color = yellow_c) or if(color = Red_c)
then no error will come and bug fixing cost for your projects
So To avoid this cost you should use
if(yellow_c == color)
{
.....
......
}
or
if(Red_c != color)
{
....
.....
}
Now if you forgot to put one = ot ! then compilation error will come..
So this should be in coding standard to use like this...

That's correct, in fact here we encourage people to use
the most ugly, unwell formed and disaster bringing code
that they may come up to. 
Learn from the mistakes of others, you may not live long enough to make them all yourself.

I think you should have had some coffee before making this statement, as he is exactly right. Placing the constant first will catch this error, which is one of the common typographic errors in C-style languages.

Real C programmers (i.e. real men) don't use such girly tricks. They bravely make mistakes whenever is needed.

I am not talking about a single or some person who can take care his code itself nicely. But when you will come to some big organization then Why they follows some process becausethey want minimize defects, minimize manpower,etc. So this small care can save some time .

BTW What is the point on minimizing manpower in software industry? Our work is creative after all, don't you agree?

We should create the union of real men, excuse me, C programmers. We'd fight to protect our jobs, our interests and our bugs!
To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand: Take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.

Definitely.

That's not needed. Other 'programmers' with their 'masterpieces' keep our jobs safe.

Oh, a coding standards horror.
That only works when comparing an Lvalue and an Rvalue, and if a programmer can remember to do that, then he can remember to use the correct operator in the first place.
Newbies will continue to screw it up, and experienced programmers will continue to get it right the first time.
One company I worked for did have that in the coding standard, but even the guy who defined the standards admitted that it was pretty useless.
If it causes you trouble you could switch to D, which will throw an error if it's not done right (if I recall correctly).

Yes, because actually looking at your warnings is apparently too difficult.

I had a manager once, who was quite skilled in C programming, but who would often leave warnings in his code if he thought they were trivial...which left him open to missing new warnings that weren't. He's a lawyer now.

Ahh, those with negative men points could always use
#define equals ==
which brings a nice touch to the code
int a = 3;
if( a equals 3)
{
...
}
But why stop here, just add the following
#define if if(
#define then ){
#define endif }
And youre code will look like this
if a equals 3 then
...
endif
It somehows reminds me of another language, I just can't get my fingers on the name ...

LOL. I remember someone suggesting defines like this:
#define please
#define thanks
And the code would be much more pleasant to read:
please do {
...
} while (i < imax);
thanks

Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope.

You haven't dealt with object equality.
I know as a random key monkey, it's very dificult for me to remember that
objA == objB
is not the same as
objA.equals(objB)
Can you provide the best answer. I have to get the bugs out of the LCG framework before Thursday!
