Hi, I need a boolean b to be true if the variable n is not
None and not an empty list, otherwise b should be false.
I ended up with:
b = n is not None and not not n
I'd do it like this:
b = (n is not None) and (n != [])
The second comparison isn't actually necessary, since an
empty list is True and a non-empty one False.
b = (n is not None) and n
Putting the comparison in does make the code slightly less
"magic", though, so it's not a bad idea to do it!
