How to check if a Python string is Empty

In this tutorial we are going to learn about, how to check if a string is empty or not in Python.

Checking if string is empty

To check if a string is empty or not, we can use the if not statement in Python.

Note: Empty strings are treated as falsy values in Python.

Here is an example:

name = ""

if not name:
 print("name is empty")

Output:

name is empty

Similarly, we can also use the len() function in Python.

place = ""

# checking if string is empty

if len(place) == 0:
    print('String is empty')
else:
    print('String is not empty')

Output:

String is empty
