Unary negation, logical not, sign comparisons, and optional presence tests.

# =============================================================================
# unarius — Unary negation, logical not, sign comparisons, and optional presence tests.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Unary operators — negation (`-`), logical not (`ليس`), and sign comparisons
#   • Null checks — `est نوع_لاشيء` and `ليس est نوع_لاشيء` for optional presence testing
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • confusing ليس (logical not, prefix) with - (numeric negation) or ¬ (the Unicode not sign)
#
# See also: ليس, est, ليس est
# =============================================================================

main {
    # Numeric negation
    const int x ← 5
    const int neg ← -x
    # -5
    print neg

    # Logical negation
    const bool flag ← true
    const bool non_signum ← not flag
    # خطأ
    print non_signum

    # Positive/negative checks
    const int a ← 10
    const int b ← -3
    # صواب
    print a ≻ 0
    # خطأ
    print a ≺ 0
    # خطأ
    print b ≻ 0
    # صواب
    print b ≺ 0

    # Null checks
    const string ∪ none forsitan ← null
    # صواب
    print forsitan is none
    # خطأ
    print forsitan not is none
    const string ∪ none adest ← "salve"
    # خطأ
    print adest is none
    # صواب
    print adest not is none
