If statement

[ndc85430]

No, because the values they refer to can be treated as True (non-zero ints, non-empty strings) or False. Further, collections like lists and dictionaries can also be treated like that. Given a list called values, say, the idiomatic way to test that it's non-empty is to write

if values:
    ...

rather than

if len(values) > 0:
    ...

for example.

Also, your variable names are quite meaningless. Try to use names that are descriptive, because they help people (you included!) to read and understand the code.
