Python - check if string is empty

points
In this article, we would like to show you how to check if string is empty in Python.
Quick solution:
text = ""
print(bool(text)) # False
text = "abc"
print(bool(text)) # True
Note:
In Python empty strings are considered as
false.
Practical example
In this example, we create a simple if statement to check if the string is empty or not.
Case 1: empty string
text = ""
if not text:
print("true")
else:
print("false")
Output:
true
Case 2: not empty string
text = "abc"
if not text:
print("true")
else:
print("false")
Output:
false
Note:
In this example, we don't need
print()function because the expression itself returnstrueorfalse. It can be replaced with some action.
