## Overview
To evaluate a value in Python in order to return a `True` or `False`, we use the **`bool()` function**.

## Syntax

The syntax of the `bool()` function is:
```
bool([value])
```
## Parameter values
 The `bool()` function takes a single parameter `value` that needs to be evaluated. It converts the given value to either `True` or `False`.

## Return value
This function returns a boolean value (`True` or `False`).

## Evaluating a string and a number
We can use the `bool()` function to evaluate a string and a number. Let's run the code given below:



print(bool("Hello World"))
print(bool(10))

## Explanation
From the output of the code that is given above, we can see that our string and number were written correctly. Therefore, after evaluation from Python using the `bool()` function, it returned `True` for both.
## Evaluating variables
The `bool()` function can also be used to evaluate variables. Let's run the code given below:


x = "Hello World"
y = 10

print(bool(x))
print(bool(y))

## Explanation 
The output of the code that is given above shows us that the variables we created were correctly written.


Moreover, a string is always `True`, unless it is empty.
Numbers are `True`, unless they are `0`. Tuples, lists, sets, and dictionaries all always return `True`, except for when they are empty. Let's look at the example given below:



# For a string
print(bool("abc"))

# for a number
print(bool(100))

# for a list
print(bool(["apple", "cherry", "banana"]))

## Explanation
In the output, we can see that all the values returned `True`, just as we stated they would earlier.

## Empty values
The **empty values**, such as `()`, `{}`, `[]`, `""`, `0`, `false`, and `None`, will return `False` after evaluation.

Let's look at the code for empty values:


# for false value
print(bool(False))

# for None value
print(bool(None))

# for zero value
print(bool(0))

# for an empty string
print(bool(""))

# for an empty tuple
print(bool(()))

# for an empth list
print(bool([]))

# for an empty dictionary
print(bool({}))

## Explanation
We can see that they all evaluated to `False`, just like we asserted they would.

How to evaluate values and variables using bool() in Python

The `bool()` function in Python evaluates values or variables to return `True` or `False` based on defined conditions.
