== Why is this an issue?
The repetition of a prefix operator (``++not++`` or ``++~++``) is usually a typo. The second operator invalidates the first one:
[source,python]
----
a = False
b = ~~a # Noncompliant: equivalent to "a"
----
While calling ``++not++`` twice is equivalent to calling the `bool()` built-in function, the latter increases the code readability, so it should be preferred.
[source,python]
----
a = 0
b = not not a # Noncompliant: use bool()
----
=== Exceptions
The rule does not raise an issue if the ``++~++`` function is overloaded in a customized class, as it is assumed to be the expected usage.

=== Message
Use the "{not|~}" operator just once or not at all.
Use the "bool()" builtin function instead of calling "not" twice.
