Another question about how we got this output in Python

Question

Input:

a = range(1,7,2)
if(a[1] == 3):
print(int(type(a)==list), end= 'n')
print(sum(a))

output:

0n9

Answer 1

since the condition in the if is true, it prints out a boolean that checks if a is a list, which it isn't, followed by the "n". then it prints out the sum, which is 1 + 3 + 5 = 9

Answer 2

stephanie not sure about python, but in most languages, false as an integer is 0, while true is 1

also, if parsing the other way around, any integer other than 0 can be considered as true, because of how negative numbers are written in computer memory

Answer 3

so int(false) is equal to 0? Does that always hold as true?

Answer 4

perfect. Thank you so much! I understand this now :)

Answer 5

Yes
