💻 Code

const someCheckingFunction = (param1: string, param2: string, optionalParam3 = true) => {
    // do stuff
    return true;
}

// always false, result of someCheckingFunction always ignored
if(someCheckingFunction("param1", "param2"), false) {
    
}

// dependent on result of someCheckingFunction
if(someCheckingFunction("param1", "param2", false)) {
    
}

🙁 Actual behavior

Due to a mistake in my bracket placement as seen in the example, I accidentally learned that multiple arguments in an if statement are possible.

Currently that means:

1. only the last argument is used for the if statement check
2. even for constant conditions there is not error visible

🙂 Expected behavior

What I would expect:

1. don't allow multiple arguments, this only happens because someone made an error
2. at least show an error if there is a constant condition
