Introduction
In Python, the bool() function is used to convert a value to a boolean value (True or False) to check the truth according to the standard.
If the object has a value of None, False or equal to 0, the bool() function will return false. Except for all of the above, the bool() function will return true.
The following article is a detailed guide on how to use the bool() function in Python as we go through the section below.
Example
x = [] print(bool(x)) y = 1 print(bool(y))
Output:
False
True
Definition
The bool() function can return 2 values: True and False.
If object is empty like (), [], {}, the function will return False.
The
syntax
bool(object)
Parameter Values:
object: any object. For example: number, string, list…
More example
Example 1: Basic bool() function
x = 1 y = 2 print(bool(x == y))
Output:
False
Example 2: Parity check program
def check(x): return (bool(x % 2 == 0)) x = 4 if (check(x)): print("Correct") else: print("Incorrect")
Output:
Correct
