Possible Duplicate:
What is the preferred way to write boolean expressions in Java

Today, me and my colleague raked up an argument.
Which is a better way to use the boolean variables in Java code along with if statements.

boolean foo=true
//1. 

if(foo == false)
    // do something
else
    // do something else

//2.

if(!foo)
    // do something
else
    // do something else

I support [1], since I think it’s more readable.
What do you guys think?.
