Python bool() Function in Linux

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.

y = 1
