In today's episode of ByteSized, we are looking at a nice trick to avoid null pointer exceptions: Meet the Yoda Condition, also known as Yoda Comparison or Yoda Style. The idea simply is to flip around (swap) the arguments in a comparison, such that the constant argument is first, to eliminate the option that it can take `null` as its value.
This trick is specifically useful in Java, but works in pretty much any programming language that has a `null` value.
