I would like to know why 0.0== False returns True in Python. I know 0==False returns True because Bool is a subclass of int so essentially you are comparing the same data type but is the same true for float?

The duplicates are not exactly the same question, but what you are trying is similar to `int(0) == float(0)`, which is also `True`. – Selcuk Feb 05 '20 at 05:46

print(bool(float(0.00))) comes out false which means float of 0.00 is false which is why 0.0==False returns True. – Raj Verma Feb 05 '20 at 05:50

@RajVerma: No, the float is not interpreted as a boolean. If it was, `2.0 == True` would be true. – user2357112 Feb 05 '20 at 05:57

bool(0) is False which is True and bool(0.0) is also false which is correct. Hence when you say 0.00==False or 0==False it comes True. its the condition. Checked n tested. I never said float is treated as bool. – Raj Verma Feb 05 '20 at 06:13

1@RajVerma: `bool(2.0)` is `True`, but `2.0 == True` is false. – user2357112 Feb 05 '20 at 06:15

right, but that's not the point. – Raj Verma Feb 05 '20 at 06:19

2@RajVerma I think your comment is a bit misleading, just because some combination of type conversions can make two values equal, doesn't mean that `==`ing them will or should resolve `True`. – Hymns For Disco Feb 05 '20 at 07:24

Sure, I get it! – Raj Verma Feb 05 '20 at 08:04
