Examples

# will produce lints
lint(
  text = "length(which(x == y)) == 0L",
  linters = boolean_arithmetic_linter()
)

lint(
  text = "sum(grepl(pattern, x)) == 0",
  linters = boolean_arithmetic_linter()
)

# okay
lint(
  text = "!any(x == y)",
  linters = boolean_arithmetic_linter()
)

lint(
  text = "!any(grepl(pattern, x))",
  linters = boolean_arithmetic_linter()
)
