Question

I am able to handle null check on a String with this below piece of code

 if (acct != null && !acct.isEmpty()|| !acct.equals(""))

what i mean from the above code is , if

1. Accountid is not equal to null And
2. Accountid length is greater than 0
   (These two is a combination of checks )

Or

1. Accountid is not equal to “”

Does my code satisfy these combination i mentioned above , or do i need to add any brackets ?? to satisfy the combination ( first 1 and 2 ) i mentioned above ??

Thanks

Yes it does, and is always evaluated before or, i.e. your code is the same as

if ((acct != null && !acct.isEmpty()) || !acct.equals(""))

However, logically it does not make sense to me. Do you really need the last part? Isn’t “acct.isEmpty()” the same as “acct.equals(“”))” in this specific instance?
