When working with conditional statements in Python, it’s important to understand how different data types are evaluated to True
or False
. In addition to the previously discussed false values such as None
, "False"
, and 0
, there are also some specific rules for evaluating lists, tuples, and dictionaries.
In Python, any non-empty list, tuple, or dictionary is evaluated to True
, while an empty one is evaluated to False
. This means that if you have a list or dictionary that contains at least one element, it will evaluate to True
in a conditional statement.
