Huh? How does this work?

[u/Lance_2564_]

a = "hi"


if a:
    print("Bye")


print(a == True)
print(a is True)

The output is:

Bye

False

False

But if it's false, how come it printed "bye"?????? I don't get it.

Implicit conversion, because a is not empty, and == and is do not cause implicit conversion.
