== Why is this an issue? The repetition of a prefix operator (``++!++``, or ``++~++``) is usually a typo. The second operator invalidates the first one: [source,php] ---- $a = false; $b = ~~$a; // Noncompliant: equivalent to "$a" ---- While calling ``++!++`` twice is equivalent to calling the `boolval()` function, the latter increases the code readability, so it should be preferred. [source,php] ---- $a = 0; $b = !!$a; // Noncompliant: equivalent to "boolval($a)" ---- ifdef::env-github,rspecator-view[] ''' == Implementation Specification (visible only on this page) include::../message.adoc[] ''' == Comments And Links (visible only on this page) include::../comments-and-links.adoc[] endif::env-github,rspecator-view[]
