In Python, you can use the following method to check if an object is empty:<\/p>\n

  1. if it so happens that<\/li>\n
  2. not needed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    my_list = []\r\nif<\/span> not<\/span> my_list:\r\n    print<\/span>(\"List is empty\"<\/span>)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n

    1. determine the length of a sequence<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      my_dict = {}\r\nif<\/span> len<\/span>(my_dict) == 0<\/span>:\r\n    print<\/span>(\"Dict is empty\"<\/span>)\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
