javascript - Interpret a cumbersome conditional expression -
last night looking angularjs snippet manage vertical tabs menu , found expression:
if(+!!variablename) dosomething(); sorry, can't understand mean +!!variablename how can resolve conditional expression?
this 1 way of saying if number if not null or undefined
if(+!!variablename) dosomething(); if variablename 0, empty (""), null or undefined, translate false or else true.
for example, if
var variablename = null; now, translate (+!!null) -> (+!true) -> (+false) -> false
similarly, if
var variablename = "anything"; this translate (+!!"anything") -> (+!false) -> (+true) -> true
+ in case has no effect on outcome, can safely removed.
in fact, whole conditional expression can replaced by
if(variablename) dosomething();
