Disallows the use of the assignment operator, `=`, in conditional statements.

If an assignment within a conditional statement is required then this rule allows it by wrapping the assignment in parentheses. ### Invalid: ```typescript let x; if (x = 0) { let b = 1; } ``` ```typescript function setHeight(someNode) { do { someNode.height = "100px"; } while (someNode = someNode.parentNode); } ``` ### Valid: ```typescript let x; if (x === 0) { let b = 1; } ``` ```typescript function setHeight(someNode) { do { someNode.height = "100px"; } while ((someNode = someNode.parentNode)); } ```
