[previous] 4103 [next] Both operands of arithmetic or bitwise operator are 'Boolean' expressions.
Arithmetic type - Operands

Both operands of this arithmetic, bitwise exclusive OR (^) or shift (<<, >>) operator are expressions which are effectively Boolean. This is bad practice at best and probably a mistake.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 2017,3198,3204,3227,3408 ++*/

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

    x = (a > b) + (c > d);             /* Message 4103 */

    x = (a > b) ^ (c > d);             /* Message 4103 */

    x = (a > b) << (c > d);            /* Message 4103 */

    return x;
}
