19.

Try this habit (where input is the variable and EXPECTED_VALUE is a const
1
2
3
4
 
if( EXPECTED_VALUE == input)
{
   // ...
}


instead of 
1
2
3
4
 
if( input == EXPECTED_VALUE)
{
  //...
}


in order to avoid errors like this one

1
2
3
4
5
 
if( input = EXPECTED_VALUE)
{
  //  will always execute this block since assignment operator used 
  //  accidentally.  The compiler will catch this if the const is on the LHS
}
