Use of double negatives [duplicate]

What's up. I wanna ask about the sentence:

'I don't think I will know no one at the party'

Which means that I will actually know someone. The question is, is this correct? I know I should not use 'no' or 'not' twice in simple sentences. But what about the complex, like the one above, or compound sentences? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

P.S I agree that I could've made a mistake in terms of complex and compound. If it so, please let me know.

Your interpretation is correct. However, this is not recommended and can lead to confusion.

Unless your reader will understand this from context, it's best avoided.

A similar issue is when someone uses a double negative for emphasis, rather than negation.
