 if(!variable)
  //other misc. coding


or

 if(variable == 1)
  //other misc. coding


It is not recommended to use if statements all the time though.

I suspect what you mean is if(var) to see if a var is true. Or there's if(var==1) to see if it's exactly 1. If your value is only a true/false value, use if(var) which is safer. Likewise use if(!var) to see if it's false.

Uh, that makes no sense. Although I'm aware it's plenty possible to use if() statements in ridiculous places where they're not needed, that sort of thing is more or less obvious. I'm not sure where this thing about ifs not being recommended comes from.
