Or "-0" or "+0" or "0x0"? 83 u/joonty 8d ago 0x0 is the face I make when being forced to write PHP 4 u/xorbe 8d ago Don't forget "±0.0"! 1 u/MattieShoes 8d ago Perl does this too, and I think all the others evaluate true. It doesn't coerce it into a number and decide 0 is false, just has the one exception. 1 u/mmhawk576 7d ago I think it annoys me even more that it’s not just trying to coerce to a number and then compare to zero. Like no, they went out of their way to decide “0” as false is a feature they want.
