Solving the error: c++ expression must be a modifiable lvalue

I’m building a new program, but when I run it, an error pops up. The error displayed is as follows:

Error: expression must be a modifiable value

I have tried several workarounds, but they still do not get the desired results. If you have come across this situation and have a solution for the “c++ expression must be a modifiable lvalue” problem, pls let me know. Here is what I do:

int M = 3; 
 int C = 5; 
 int match = 3;
 for ( int k =0; k < C; k ++ )
 {
  match --; 
  if ( match == 0 && k = M )
  {
  std::cout << " equals" << std::endl;
  }
 }
if ( match == 0 )

Thanks!

    The cause: Because a cast does not yield an lvalue – a value that can be utilized on the left side of an assignment. This error message is displayed.

    Solution:

    Because && has higher precedence than the assignment operator, your condition is similar to:

    if ((match == 0 && k) = m)

    You cannot assign it to the left-hand side of this because it is a rvalue, namely the boolean returned by the evaluation of the subexpression match == 0 && k.

    In contrast, comparison takes precedence, therefore the equivalent of match == 0 && k == m is:

    if ((match == 0) && (k == m))

    If you declare a in C, you’ll also get the same error.

    char array[size];

    Then, assign a value to the index position without specifying an index position.

    array = '\0'; 

    Doing:

    array[index] = '0';

    You’re specifying the accessible/modifiable address previously declared.
