Default Sentence help needed !!

Hi Guys,

Could you please verify if the following sentence is correct or not ?

Sentence : " Is is safe to assume if variable is not NULL ? "

If it is wrong, please help me with the reason. I had an argument with a friend and I have to prove him.

Regards,
Shwetha

Hi Shwetha,

Try this instead:

" Is it safe to assume that the variable is not NULL ? "

Also, please note that the context in which the question would be used would help to assess whether the text corrected here does in fact conform to your intended meaning.
