Not true and false, just NULL. At the moment, it just happens to be that NULL is #defined to be 0 (== false). It's conceivable that at some point, on some C/++ library for some OS, NULL might be one past the system's max memory. I personally think that that's not a reasonable expectation, but it is conceivable. Hopefully you at least see the point =)

== NULL is "good practice" "in case they decide to change NULL from 0 to some other number"
Sounds like something XxStillAVirgin69xX would say... :lol:

Actually I heard it from someone that was more like ImaProfessional420, but I still don't agree with it.

:roll: If they decide to change the value of NULL, then we'll adapt. Until then, I will use if( [variable] ) and if(![variable] ).
