Why print(all([])) returns true??

Question

The working principle of all() is that it returns true only if all the elements of the iterable is true ??Isn't it!!
Then why its returning True for a empty list 😣I'm lost here Please help!!

Answer 1

def all(iterable):
for i in iterable:
if not i:
return False
return True
all() is something like this so it skips for loop if iterable is empty and returns True
