  • Strictly speaking you're not converting a value from string to boolean, because you're loosing information, "hello" as input would result in the same output as "bye bye". Commented Aug 25, 2018 at 18:03

Because it checks if the string is empty:

  • Empty return False
  • Not Empty return True
