Hi, I think I recall seeing this here, but I wanted to make sure I'm
correct.
Is the best way to test for an empty list just test for the truth
value? I.e.
mylist = [1,2,3]
while mylist:
print mylist.pop()
Thanks,
Wayne
I believe it is better to check the list length, I think some
changes are coming on evaling list
mylist = [1,2,3]
while len(mylist) > 0:
print mylist.pop()
or
<code>
while mylist != []:
print mylist.pop()
</code>
or for reverse iteration without popping the values in the list.
<code>
for x in reversed(mylist):
print x
</code>
