Question: I was wondering what was the most clean and understandable syntax for doing condition checks on nullable bools. 

Is the following good or bad coding style? Is there a way to express the condition better/more cleanly?

```
bool? nullableBool = true;
if (nullableBool ?? false) { ... }
else { ... }

```

especially the **if (nullableBool ?? false)** part. I don't like the `if (x.HasValue && x.Value)` style ...

*(not sure whether the question has been asked before ... couldn't find something similar with the search)*

Answer: 
I think a lot of people concentrate on the fact that this value is nullable, and don't think about what they actually want :)

```
bool? nullableBool = true;
if (nullableBool == true) { ... } // true
else { ... } // false or null

```

Or if you want more options...

```
bool? nullableBool = true;
if (nullableBool == true) { ... } // true
else if (nullableBool == false) { ... } // false
else { ... } // null

```

`(nullableBool == true)` will never return true if the bool? is null :P
You may not like it, but personally I find

```
if (x.HasValue && x.Value)

```

the most readable. It makes it clear you are working with a nullable type and it makes it clear you are first checking whether the nullable type has a value before acting on it conditionally.

If you take your version and replace the variable with x also it reads:

```
if (x ?? false)

```

Is that as clear? Is it obvious x is a nullable type? I'll let you decide.
