no... C treats anything other than 0 as true,  only 0 is false, (NULL too,
but that's usually 0)

 JB>> if("pigs fly") puts("All non-null pointers are
true");

in case that one had you scratching your head "pigs fly" is a constant
character array, and arrays can be treated as pointers, and are never NULL.
