Python False

Python False

Python False is a keyword used to represent the logical/boolean value of false or 0.

Since, False represents one of the two boolean values, which is returned by boolean expressions, or conditions when the expression/condition evaluates to logically false value.

Examples

For example, in the following example, we take a boolean expression 1 == 3, which always evaluates to logical false. We have assigned this expression to variable x, and print the result to standard output.

x = 1 == 3
print(x)

Output

False

Assign False to variable

We can assign a value of False to a variable. In the following program, we have assigned the value False to variable x.

x = False
print(x)

Output

False

Function returns False

Since, it is a value, we can return False from a function, always or during specific conditions.

def alwaysFalse():
    return False

x = alwaysFalse()
print(x)

Output

False
