Premature Variable Expansion Medium

When a variable is expanded in the same command where it is assigned, the expansion occurs before the assignment takes effect, leading to the use of old or uninitialized values. To ensure the correct value is used, separate the assignment and expansion into distinct commands or use a subshell.
