ReferenceError: invalid assignment left-hand side
Error type
What went wrong?
There was an unexpected assignment somewhere. This might be due to a mismatch of a assignment operator and a comparison operator, for example. While a single "=" sign assigns a value to a variable, the "==" or "===" operators compare a value.
Examples
if (Math.PI = 3 || Math.PI = 4) {
console.log('no way!');
}
// ReferenceError: invalid assignment left-hand side
var str = 'Hello, '
+= 'is it me '
+= 'you\'re looking for?';
// ReferenceError: invalid assignment left-hand side
In the if statement, you want to use a comparison operator ("=="), and for the string concatenation, the plus ("+") operator is needed.
if (Math.PI == 3 || Math.PI == 4) {
console.log('no way!');
}
var str = 'Hello, '
+ 'from the '
+ 'other side!';
