It always seems to work when all the parenthesis are there.

Is there a programming language where improper syntax results in working code?

Yes.

if(var = othervar) in C++ will compile, but will not have the proper comparison.

Notice I didnt just say that it would compile. Got more hairs to split Secrets?

Luckily almost every compiler out there has warnings to tell you if you've made this mistake. If it isn't a mistake, and there are valid reasons to use this construct, then you can write your code to avoid the warning in those cases.

This is valid c++.
