Mixing up the order of operations will almost always yield unexpected results.
Similarly, mis-applied negation will also yield bad results. For instance consider the difference between ``++!key in dict++`` and ``++!(key in dict)++``. The first looks for a boolean value (``++!key++``) in ``++dict++``, and the other looks for a string and inverts the result. ``++!obj instanceof SomeClass++`` has the same problem.
This rule raises an issue when the left operand of an ``++in++`` or ``++instanceof++`` operator is negated.
== Noncompliant Code Example
----
if (!"prop" in myObj) { // Noncompliant; "in" operator is checking property "false"
doTheThing(); // this block will be never executed
}
if (!foo instanceof MyClass) { // Noncompliant; "!foo" returns a boolean, which is not an instance of anything
doTheOtherThing(); // this block is never executed
}
----
== Compliant Solution
----
if (!("prop" in myObj)) {
doTheThing();
}
if (!(foo instanceof MyClass)) {
doTheOtherThing();
}
----
