Any differences between ( var > x) and ( x < var)?

Question

I have seen embedded programming use conditions in reverse order like literal on the left side instead of right in conditional checks.

( var > 0) and ( 0 < var) 

Is there a reason for this ? or its just a one of coding style ?

Thanks

EDIT: Thanks everyone for answering and clearing my doubt.

Answer 1

They are equivalent. The only difference could be if operator</> is overloaded, and these overloads have difference meaning (discouraged, though).

I've seen people doing this for the equality operator, to avoid using assigment mistakely. So instead of this:

if (a==0) ...

Mistakenly this is written:

if (a=0) ... // compiles, and not what we wanted, a assigned to zero, and "if" never taken

If we have used reversed comparison instead:

if (0==a) ...

Then the wrong version doesn't compile:

if (0=a) ... // doesn't compile

But this is not too important today, as most compilers will warn you for if (a=0).

As Max Langhof notes, this reversed condition is called Yoda conditions due to the order being different from the normal English one.
