Changing bool values to opposite of the initial value

Question

This maybe sound strange to you but I\'m too lazy to write everytime like

if (threadAlive)
{
            threadAlive = false;
}
        else
{
            th         


        

Answer 1

Yes, there is!

threadAlive ^= true;

(this is a C# joke, in the most general case it won't work in C/C++/Javascript (it could work in C/C++/Javascript depending on some conditions), but it's true! ^ is the xor operator)
