In Python any object can be tested for truth value (true or false).
Empty sequences and collections such as ''
, ()
, []
, {}
, set()
, range(0)
are considered false.
We can combine this with boolean operation:
Operation | Result |
---|---|
| if |
# We have an empty dictionary xx = {}
# Check if dictionary x is emptyif not x: print("Dictionary is empty")
Dictionary is empty
As dictionary x
is empty, not x
is True
and "Dictionary is empty"
is printed.
