I am looking for a concise way to check a value to see if it is nil or zero. Currently I am doing something like:

if (!val || val == 0)   # Is nil or zero end

But this seems very clumsy.

  1. Objects have a nil? method.

    if val.nil? || val == 0   [do something] end

    Or, for just one instruction:

    [do something] if val.nil? || val == 0
