If you’re asking homework questions online you should really step up your game. ChatGPT is how all the cool kids are cheating on their homework and that doesn’t require waiting on replies.

This stackoverflow answer has a whole bunch of approaches you can try.

bool doesn’t work because it uses the standard truth testing algorithm in Python:

Any object can be tested for truth value, for use in an if or while condition or as operand of the Boolean operations below.

By default, an object is considered true unless its class defines either a bool() method that returns False or a len() method that returns zero, when called with the object. 1 Here are most of the built-in objects considered false:

constants defined to be false: None and False

zero of any numeric type: 0, 0.0, 0j, Decimal(0), Fraction(0, 1)

empty sequences and collections: ‘’, (), [], {}, set(), range(0)

Operations and built-in functions that have a Boolean result always return 0 or False for false and 1 or True for true, unless otherwise stated. (Important exception: the Boolean operations or and and always return one of their operands.)

In other words, bool(string) checks if your string has a length of 0 or is any of the other falsy types, and everything else is True.
