Python list empty check using Boolean logic


Write a Python function that checks if a given list is empty or not using boolean logic.

Sample Solution:

Code:

def is_empty_list(lst):
    return not bool(lst)

def main():
    try:
        input_list = eval(input("Input a list (e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4]): "))
        
        if isinstance(input_list, list):
            if is_empty_list(input_list):
                print("The list is empty.")
            else:
                print("The list is not empty.")
        else:
            print("Invalid input. Please enter a valid list.")
    except Exception as e:
        print("An error occurred:", e)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

Output:

Input a list (e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4]): [1,2,3]
The list is not empty.
Input a list (e.g., [1, 2, 3, 4]): []
The list is empty.

In the above exercise the program prompts the user to input a list (using eval to convert the input string to a list), and then uses the "is_empty_list()" function to determine if the list is empty or not. Based on the results, it prints the appropriate message.
