simple if statement issue

Hi, I am trying to use simple comparison:

 

set nullindex 1

 

if{($nullindex>-1)}{ log local1. "test" }

 

This what I see in a log: invalid command name "if{(1>-1)}{" while executing "if{($nullindex>-1)}{"

 

Please, help

    set nullindex 1
if { $nullindex > -1 } {
    log local1. "test"
}

    or if you insist on using parenthesis:

    set nullindex 1
if { ($nullindex > -1) } {
    log local1. "test"
}

    The issue is it tries to evaluate command 

    if{(1>-1)}{
    instead of 
    if
    because there is no space after 
    if

    And there is also a missing space after the closing curly bracket!
