Python – Convert String Truth values to Boolean

Given a String List, convert the String Truth values to Boolean values.

Input : test_list = [“True”, “False”, “True”, “False”]
Output : [True, False, True, False]
Explanation : String booleans converted to actual Boolean.

Input : test_list = [“True”]
Output : [True]
Explanation : String boolean converted to actual Boolean.

Method #1 : Using list comprehension

In this, we check for just the True value, rest values are automatically converted to False boolean.

# initializing lists
test_list = ["True", "False", "True", "True", "False"]
  
# printing string
print("The original list : " + str(test_list))
  
# using list comprehension to check "True" string
res = [ele == "True" for ele in test_list]
  
# printing results 
print("The converted Boolean values : " + str(res))

Output


The original list : ['True', 'False', 'True', 'True', 'False']
The converted Boolean values : [True, False, True, True, False]





Method #2 : Using map() + lambda


In this, we apply same approach, just the different way to solve the problem. The map() is used to extend logic of values computed by lambda function.
