This is discussion is just about cosmetics, I believe. Just a piece of
advice: try to be sensitive about the community. In this community, and
I believe in C general !! is the idiomatic way to convert number to
boolean. Why would one want to do that is a bit longer story. The short
version is in logic condition context the value 0 is false and any
other value is true. !! keeps false value (0) false, and forces a true to
the most true true value. If you keep getting confused every time you
run across a !! that won't help with reading other peoples C.
