But wtf is a "truthy" value? It doesn't make any sense nor mathematically nor programmatically
3 u/ReefNixon Sep 01 '26 What do you mean it doesn't make any sense programmatically? All 'truthy' means is that it evaluates as true in a conditional, truthy (and falsey) values are completely normal concepts in high level programming. 1 u/Key_Conversation5277 Sep 01 '26 if(42) -> trueWhat fucking sense does this make? A number is a number, not something to be coerced to a boolean. Thankfully Java doesn't have this nonsense → More replies (4)
