Now it is disallowed and some people are going crazy.
"If Not a" is also not allowed, according to the international PureBasic programming language standard.
Code: Select all
s.s = "string"
If s
Debug s
EndIf
;If Not s ; already forbidden
; Debug "s empty"
;EndIf
a.i = 10
If a
EndIf
If Not a
EndIf
All this can be removed any time, because it is not explicitly allowed and written down in the language standard/manual/reference.
Always write "If a <> 0" and "If Not a <> 0" etc.
For me, "If a" and "If s" make both sense. The opposite of both is "If Not a" and "If Not s", which makes sense, too.

"If Not a <> 0"
Why wouldn't you simply write "If a = 0"?

Because we talk about 'Not' here.

Oh, I see. I suppose you would rather write "If Not a = 0" instead of "If a <> 0".
