Kingdom: Code Quality

Poor code quality leads to unpredictable behavior. From a user's perspective that often manifests itself as poor usability. For an attacker it provides an opportunity to stress the system in unexpected ways.

Code Correctness: Arithmetic Operation on Boolean

C/C++

Abstract

The program uses an arithmetic operator on a boolean value, which might not achieve what the programmer had in mind.

Explanation

Arithmetic operations will not act in the same way on boolean values as they would on integral values, which may lead to unexpected behavior.
