7.2 None
Python has a special value, called None
, that it often uses to tell
you that it cannot give you a valid value. Unlike any other common
value in Python, if an expression evaluates to None
, Python shows
you nothing at all for the value, in the notebook, or in an
interactive Python console.
my_value = None
my_value
# This next line is an expression, evalating to None
None
We can see if we got the value None
by using the is
comparison operator. Here is an expression, using the is
operator, that evaluates to True.
my_value is None
True
