== Why is this an issue?

The size of a collection and the length of an array are always greater than or equal to zero. Testing it doesn't make sense, since the result is always ``++true++``.

Similarly testing that it is less than zero will always return ``++false++``.

Fix the code to properly check for emptiness if it was the intent, or remove the redundant code to keep the current behavior.
