 # Compiler Warning (level 4) C4706
 
-assignment within conditional expression
+> assignment used as a condition
 
-The test value in a conditional expression was the result of an assignment.
+The test value in a conditional expression is the result of an assignment.
 
 An assignment has a value (the value on the left side of the assignment) that can be used legally in another expression, including a test expression.
 
 The following sample generates C4706:
 
 ```cpp
-// C4706a.cpp
 // compile with: /W4
 int main()
 {
    int a = 0, b = 0;
-   if ( a  = b ) // C4706
+   if (a = b) // C4706
    {
    }
 }
 ```
 
-The warning will occur even if you double the parentheses around the test condition:
+Suppress the warning with `((`*expression*`))`. For example:
 
 ```cpp
-// C4706b.cpp
 // compile with: /W4
 int main()
 {
    int a = 0, b = 0;
-   if ( ( a  =  b ) ) // C4706
+   if ((a = b)) // No warning
    {
    }
 }
 ```
 
-If your intention is to test a relation and not to make an assignment, use the `==` operator. For example, the following line tests whether a and b are equal:

 }

-If you intend to make your test value the result of an assignment, test to ensure that the assignment is non-zero or not null. For example, the following code will not generate this warning:
