Idiom #320 Test if string is empty

Set b to true if the string s is empty, false otherwise

b = s.is_empty()

Both &str and String have a method called is_empty
b := s == ""

Strings cannot be nil
#include <string.h>
bool b = !strlen(s);

C23 bool

b = s.is_empty()
b := s == ""
bool b = !strlen(s);
(def b (nil? s))
b = s.empty();
var b = string.IsNullOrEmpty(s);
final b = s.isEmpty;
let b = !!s
boolean b = s.intern() == "";
boolean b = s.equals("");
b := (s = '');
my $b = $s eq '';
b = not s
b = s == ''
b = s.empty?
