Why does one method return False in one line and in another it doesn't (same method)

Question

print(" " in string) #Program returns False

if " " in string == False: # On the next line program ignores that fact and goes to else
print("spaces were removed")
else:
print("An error occured")

Answer 1

Mistake is in the if statement,
I guess you need to add "()" to give priority

if (" " in string) == False:
print("spaces were removed")
else:
print("An error occured")

Answer 2

You had right idea. Thanks

Answer 3

if (" " in string) == False:
it evaluate the first expression since it is false it does not check the second one. add parentheses like above.
read about the order of evaluations in if statement.
