Goal C - What is the syntax?

Question

Which syntax do you think is better / more readable?

if(!myViewController.view.superview)

or

if(myViewController.view.superview == nil)

Thanks!!

Answer 1

Both are very close, it comes down to the personal tastes or standards of the conding project in question.

Speak! myViewController.view.superview, meaning "no superview", is very clear.

Saying myViewController.view.superview == nil means that supiew nil is also very clear.

I would prefer if I wrote in English, I would say:

if there is no supervisor then

I would not say

if the add-in doesn't work
