The end variable is not the issue, it's the fact that the code is
using the truth value of '(' for no good reason. Using (var=exp) in a
conditional statement usually wants to find out if exp is nonzero as
well as doing the assignment. Here _only_ the side effect of doing
the assigment is desired, and the expression is meant to be always
true. My suggested alternative clarifies that.
