By definition, a condition in an `if`-statement, `while`-statement, or a `for`-statement selects between `true` and `false`.
A numeric value is compared to `0` and a pointer value to `nullptr`.
if (p) { ... } // means "if `p` is not `nullptr`, good
if (p!=0) { ... } // means "if `p` is not `nullptr`, redundant `!=0`; bad: don't use 0 for pointers
if (p!=nullptr) { ... } // means "if `p` is not `nullptr`, redundant `!=nullptr`, not recommended
// These all mean "if `p` is not `nullptr`"
if (p) { ... } // good
if (p != 0) { ... } // redundant `!=0`; bad: don't use 0 for pointers
if (p != nullptr) { ... } // redundant `!=nullptr`, not recommended
Often, `if (p)` is read as "if `p` is valid" which is a direct expression of the programmers intent,
whereas `if (p!=nullptr)` would be a long-winded workaround.

##### Example
Note that implicit conversions to bool are applied in conditions.
For example:
for (string s; cin>>s; ) v.push_back(s);
for (string s; cin >> s; ) v.push_back(s);
This invokes `istream`'s `operator bool()`.

It has been noted that
if(strcmp(p1,p2)) { ... } // are the two C-style strings equal? (mistake!)
if(strcmp(p1, p2)) { ... } // are the two C-style strings equal? (mistake!)
is a common beginners error.
If you use C-style strings, you must know the `<cstring>` functions well.
Being verbose and writing
if(strcmp(p1,p2)!=0) { ... } // are the two C-style strings equal? (mistake!)
if(strcmp(p1, p2) != 0) { ... } // are the two C-style strings equal? (mistake!)

The opposite condition is most easily expressed using a negation:
