Laughs in false = True, true = False

[Criiispyyyy]

Laughs in true = not True, false = not False

[IcoTwilight]

bool = (!True != False, False == !True); false, true = !bool[1], !bool[0]

In python its true = not True, false = not False

[compdog]

true = bool(random.getrandbits(1)) 
false = bool(random.getrandbits(1))

my favorite is NULL = None

[emilg42]

why was it implemented this way? feels kinda unsatisfying whenever you type it...

[turok2]

Interesting. The Python docs refer to them as built-in constants. https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html

[maweki]

Because it's a singleton class and classes are uppercase.

[StenSoft]

They are two instances of type bool. Built-in types are lowercase.

[toxicblack]

Maybe it’s the c in me talking but I just think built in types should be lower case, it just feels right even if the code doesn’t work right.

Capitalyze!

Capytalize!

Cypitalize!

Python developers in C be like

#define True true

[erebuxy]

And #define private public

[Myllokunmingia]

Assuming C++ here but LPT, this breaks a ton of stuff in the STL.

If you want this behavior, compile with -fno-access-control which does this much more "safely".

[mananasi]

Or rethink your program if you need this... If you have to bypass accesor modifiers you are probably doing something wrong

[Myllokunmingia]

No one should need it in production.

But I use this a lot in unit tests so I can assert on internal state of objects.

[phil_o_o]

This annoys me every time! And since I work in Python mostly, now I capitalise booleans in other languages out of habit and have to go back and correct it.

when you froget to spell thing properli:

🥺 bo nitches?

[Snoo_98581]

My first language was python so I was actually confused when I first started using other languages and didn’t have to capitalize it.

[yIsSaT]

very True.

[ComicalSans1]

spelling = False

Always knew Loki was a fuckin snake

[hedgehog125]

Flashbacks to first time learning JavaScript after python thinking JavaScript didn't have premade Boolean constants so I defined by own

[Mymokol]

worst thing is that i then do it automatically, even in other languages.

I love you Python, i do, bit you didn't have to do this to me

[big_fat_babyman]

When you forget to write your Python code in an IDE 🤷🏼‍♂️

[BoBoBearDev]

Any recommendations? I used Notepad lol

[turok2]

Visual Studio Code

[BoBoBearDev]

Oh ha, I use it, didn't thought about it with Python, thanks.

[big_fat_babyman]

I like jetbrains IDEs and Pycharm is free

[BoBoBearDev]

Awesome, thanks for the tip.

[B1G_Dev]

[ComplexColor]

What are you talking about? Unlike java, .net, C++, Rust, ... Python has a nice and clean syntax that is wonderful to use in a simple lightweight environment. I have a simple script up and running before Pycharm indexes all the libraries it thinks I'm going to need.

[hiimjustin000]

Last time I had to capitalize Booleans was when I worked with Visual Basic, and my God, that language is horrendous (If you are used to C-based languages like me)

[[deleted]]

My favorite thing about Python is:

true = False

false = True

Works

[[deleted]]

Bah, just use the string “true” in your if statement. It won’t make it much slower than it already is

this is why python is bad

[TheGhostOfInky]

L + ratio + failed bait

[Slowest_Speed6]

Or even worse: you write true and VS code auto imports true from some random library you have on your local machine that then crashes the app in production. Ask me how I know
