What is wrong with the following code fragment? Will this code compile if it is part of an otherwise valid program? Explain.

```
if (length = MIN_LENGTH)
System.out.println("The length is minimal.");

```

The assignment operator (=) is used erroneously in place of the equality operator (==). Hence, it will not compile in an otherwise valid program.
