Booleans
Python Tutorial
This Python tutorial has been written for the beginners to help them understand the basic to advanced concepts of Python Programming Language. After completing this tutorial, you will find yourself at a great level of expertise in Python, from where you can take yourself to the next levels to become a world class Software Engineer.
Booleans
Boolean Values in Python
In Python,
bool
is a sub-type of int type. A bool object has two possible values, and it is initialized with Python keywords, True and False.>>> a=True>>> b=False>>> type(a), type(b)(<class 'bool'>, <class 'bool'>)
A bool object is accepted as argument to type conversion functions. With True as argument, the int() function returns 1, float() returns 1.0; whereas for False, they return 0 and 0.0 respectively. We have a one argument version of
complex()
function.If the argument is a complex object, it is taken as real part, setting the imaginary coefficient to 0.
a=int(True)print ("bool to int:", a)a=float(False)print ("bool to float:", a)a=complex(True)print ("bool to complex:", a)
On running this code, you will get the following output
bool to int: 1bool to float: 0.0bool to complex: (1+0j)
Boolean Expression in Python
Python boolean expression is an expression that evaluates to a Boolean value. It almost always involves a comparison operator. In the below example we will see how the comparison operators can give us the Boolean values. The
bool()
method is used to return the truth value of an expresison.Syntax: bool([x])Returns True if X evaluates to true else false.Without parameters it returns false.
Below we have examples which use numbers streams and Boolean values as parameters to the bool function. The results come out as true or false depending on the parameter.
Example
# Check truea = Trueprint(bool(a))
# Check falsea = Falseprint(bool(a))
# Check 0a = 0.0print(bool(a))
# Check 1a = 1.0print(bool(a))
# Check Equalitya = 5b = 10print(bool( a==b))
# Check Nonea = Noneprint(bool(a))
# Check an empty sequencea = ()print(bool(a))
# Check an emtpty mappinga = {}print(bool(a))
# Check a non empty stringa = 'Tutorialspoint'print(bool(a))
