Day 26: Elegant And Lean Python

 

Just something quick today I stumbled upon yesterday:

 

# checking if the variable name has a value
# using the most efficient way

name = input("Enter your name: ")


# this works, but dont do this
if (len(name) > 0):
    print("true")
else:
    print("false")

# this works also, but it's also bad style
if (name != ""):
    print("true")
else:
    print("false")

# This is the proper Python way
# if name has a value it checks out true automatically
if (name):
    print("true")
else:
    print("false")
