[previous] 4104 [next] Left hand operand of arithmetic or bitwise operator is a 'Boolean' expression.
Arithmetic type - Operands

The left hand operand of an arithmetic, bitwise or shift operator is an expression which is effectively Boolean. This is bad practice at best and probably a mistake.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 2017,3204,3227,3408 ++*/

int foo(int a, int b, int c)
{
    int x;

    x = (a > b) + c;                /* Message 4104 */

    return x;
}
