Overview

Checks for uses of double negation (!!) to convert something to a boolean value.

When using EnforcedStyle: allowed_in_returns, allow double negation in contexts that use boolean as a return value. When using EnforcedStyle: forbidden, double negation should be forbidden always.

Note
 when something is a boolean value !!something and !something.nil? are not the same thing. As you’re unlikely to write code that can accept values of any type this is rarely a problem in practice.

Examples:

# bad
!!something

# good
!something.nil?

EnforcedStyle: allowed_in_returns (default)

# good
def foo?
  !!return_value
end

define_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

define_singleton_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

EnforcedStyle: forbidden

# bad
def foo?
  !!return_value
end

define_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

define_singleton_method :foo? do
  !!return_value
end

Cop Safety Information:

  • Autocorrection is unsafe when the value is false, because the result of the expression will change.

    !!false     #=> false
!false.nil? #=> true
