Note that in Bash you don't need the arithmetic expansion to check for the boolean value of an arithmetic expression. This can be done using the arithmetic evaluation compound command:

if ((number == 1234)); then
echo 'Good guess'
else
echo 'Haha... :-P'
fi

Firstly, In test comparisson, it's better use double square brackets rather than one: if [[ $a -ne "0" ]] fi

But at the end of the day is up to the programmer to use this functionality or not.
For example this answer is correct:
