Which of the 2 versions is more readable is a matter of personal opinion.
Many people consider that the most readable programs are those in which nothing is written in a longer more complex form, if it can be written in a shorter simpler form.
The implicit conversion of a value of any type to a Boolean value is not something invented by C. This was first used in LISP I (1960), then in many other programming languages.
