Is there any reason to use null == value condition in java?
<p>I am seeing this a lot in someone's code: null-check conditions are written like this:</p>

<pre><code>if (null == value)
</code></pre>

<p>rather than</p>

<pre><code>if (value == null)
</code></pre>

<p>I don't think there is any reason to have the <code>null</code> precede the operator in Java. Is there any benefit to doing it this way? Is this simply a case of a C++ programmer applying his skill to Java incorrectly, or am I missing something important?</p>
