In Python you can check if a list is empty by using the built-in len()
function. The len()
function returns the number of items in a list, dictionary, string, tuple or set. If the length of a list is 0, then it's empty.
basket = []
if len(basket) == 0:
print('Basket is empty')
# Basket is empty
bag = ['apple', 'banana', 'orange']
if len(bag) > 0:
bag_count = len(bag)
print('Bag contains ' + str(bag_count) + ' items')
# Bag contains 3 items
