If I only want to check if something is impossible or not (i.e., I will not be using something like if(possible)), should I name the boolean notPossible and use if(notPossible) or should I name it possible and use if(!possible) instead?

And just to be sure, if I also have to check for whether it is possible, I would name the boolean possible and use if(possible) along with else, right?

    if (!notPossible)
    

    Which is unreadable.
