Best Practice on IF/ELSE Statement Order

Question

Which is a better practice? (I\'m coding in .Net if that makes a difference)

IF condition = true THEN
   ...true action--even if rare...
ELSE
   ...action
E         


        

Answer 1

Go with the most readable version for your specific case, and by the way, don't compare a boolean expression to true and false. Use condition and Not condition (!condition in C#.)

if (condition == true) // bad
if (condition) // better
