You can go one step further and use the Bang-Bang operator:

!!m

To be read as "Bang! Bang! You're a boolean now!"

I might be in the minority but I prefer to do it like this: Boolean(m).

It's the same thing but less cool. On the flip side it's easier to read when you have a line full of operators.

Yep, that's a much better way! It's like the "goes down to" operator - a neat trick you should never use :)

while (i --> 0) { ... }
