Subject: Re: bool and int
bool is a subtype of integer. I never dug that deep into Python's guts but
I assume it goes back to boolean being an afterthought in C. Some people
fancy it up with #defines but I always use int. 0 is false, anything else
is true.
bool was introduced early in Python 2. Before then 0 and 1 were used for
false and true, like in C, which also gained 'false' and 'true'.
For backwards compatibility, bool was made a subclass of int.
C# is pickier, which I guess is a good thing.
