    Python Booleans

    Python uses Boolean values True and False to evaluate conditions. Expressions in if statements and conditions like a > b return True or False. Most values like non-empty strings and numbers evaluate to True, while empty values and 0 evaluate to False. Functions can also return Boolean values to determine program flow or check types. Boolean values allow Python code to handle conditional execution and make decisions based on evaluated expressions.

    Boolean Values
    In programming you often need to know if an expression is True or False .

    You can evaluate any expression in Python, and get one of two answers, True or False .

    When you compare two values, the expression is evaluated and Python returns the Boolean
    answer:

    Example
    print(10 > 9)
    print(10 == 9)
    print(10 < 9)

    When you run a condition in an if statement, Python returns True or False :

    Example
    Print a message based on whether the condition is True or False :

    a = 200
    b = 33

    if b > a:
    print("b is greater than a")
    else:
    print("b is not greater than a")

    Evaluate Values and Variables


    The bool() function allows you to evaluate any value, and give you True or False in return,

    Example
    Evaluate a string and a number:

    print(bool("Hello"))
    print(bool(15))

    Try it Yourself »

    Example
    Evaluate two variables:

    x = "Hello"
    y = 15

    print(bool(x))
    print(bool(y))

    Most Values are True


    Almost any value is evaluated to True if it has some sort of content.

    Any string is True , except empty strings.

    Any number is True , except 0 .

    Any list, tuple, set, and dictionary are True , except empty ones.

    Example
    The following will return True:

    bool("abc")
    bool(123)
    bool(["apple", "cherry", "banana"])

    Some Values are False


    In fact, there are not many values that evaluate to False , except empty values, such
    as () , [] , {} , "" , the number 0 , and the value None . And of course the
    value False evaluates to False .

    Example
    The following will return False:

    bool(False)
    bool(None)
    bool(0)
    bool("")
    bool(())
    bool([])
    bool({})

    One more value, or object in this case, evaluates to False , and that is if you have an object
    that is made from a class with a __len__ function that returns 0 or False :

    Example
    class myclass():
    def __len__(self):
    return 0

    myobj = myclass()
    print(bool(myobj))

    Functions can Return a Boolean


    You can create functions that returns a Boolean Value:

    Example
    Print the answer of a function:

    def myFunction() :
    return True

    print(myFunction())

    Try it Yourself »

    You can execute code based on the Boolean answer of a function:

    Example
    Print "YES!" if the function returns True, otherwise print "NO!":

    def myFunction() :
    return True

    if myFunction():
    print("YES!")
    else:
    print("NO!")

    Python also has many built-in functions that return a boolean value, like
    the isinstance() function, which can be used to determine if an object is of a certain data
    type:

    Example
    Check if an object is an integer or not:

    x = 200
    print(isinstance(x, int))
