1they are not precisely equivalent, but the latter is the idiomatic way to do it – juanpa.arrivillaga Nov 30 '22 at 06:15

Both are acceptable but it's better to use appropriate convention like `If x == True` – mhhabib Nov 30 '22 at 06:15

3@mhhabib: Heck no. `== True` is discouraged, inefficient, and often outright wrong. – user2357112 Nov 30 '22 at 06:16

4@mhhabib that is *not* the convention – juanpa.arrivillaga Nov 30 '22 at 06:16

1if `x` is not a boolean value, there may be differences between both codes. `x = 42` will give different outputs – Cid Nov 30 '22 at 06:17
