This question has come up during the last CocoaHeads and no one was really able to give a definite answer.
Do both expressions really mean the same thing (as nil is not null)?

if (!foo) {
...
}

if (foo == nil) {
...
}


Just try it out in a small project...

Keep in mind that Objective-C is the same as C, and C only checks for numbers within the if() statement...
0 = false, 1 or more = true...

nil = 0 so, they mean the same thing...

I guess my questions wasn't phrased correctly. The point was more: is 'nil' really the equivalent of 0 or NULL.

There was a common perception that NULL is not really the same as nil. But seems like in the end it really is (void*)0.
