Convert Python boolean values to strings Yes or No

When you're using true or false values in Python, changing them to "Yes" or "No" strings can make your code easier to read. This article shows different ways to do it, giving you choices based on how you like to write your code. Here, we will convert the Python Boolean values to string as Yes or No instead of True or False.

Convert Python boolean values to String (Yes or No)

Below are some ways by which we can convert Python Boolean values into String in Python:

1. Using if-else Statements
2. Using Lambda Function
3. Using List Comprehension
4. Using map() Function

Convert Python boolean values to String Using if-else Statements

In this example, a boolean variable `bool_val` is converted to the string "Yes" if it's `True` and "No" if it's `False` using if-else statements.

bool_val = True

result = "Yes" if bool_val else "No"
print("Original boolean value:", bool_val)
print("Converted string:", result)

Original boolean value: True
Converted string: Yes

Pytho Boolean to Yes or No String Using Lambda Function

In this example, we are using lambda functions to convert a list of strings where "Yes" represents `True` and "No" represents `False`. A lambda function `lambda x: "Yes" if x else "No"` is applied to each element using the `map` function, resulting in the list `string_values`.

# Sample list of boolean values
bool_values = [True, False, True, True, False]

# Lambda function to convert boolean to "Yes" or "No"
bool_string = lambda x: "Yes" if x else "No"

# Use map to apply the lambda function to the list
string_values = list(map(bool_string, bool_values))

print("Original boolean value:", bool_values)
print("Converted string:", string_values)

Original boolean value: [True, False, True, True, False]
Converted string: ['Yes', 'No', 'Yes', 'Yes', 'No']

Boolean to Python String Using List Comprehension

In this example, a list `bool_values` containing boolean elements is converted to a list of strings using a list comprehension. Each boolean element is transformed into "Yes" if it's `True`, and "No" if it's `False`.

bool_values = [True, False, True, True, False]

result = ["Yes" if x else "No" for x in bool_values]

print("Original boolean value:", bool_values)
print("Converted string:", result)

Original boolean value: [True, False, True, True, False]
Converted string: ['Yes', 'No', 'Yes', 'Yes', 'No']

Convert Boolean to Python String Using map() Function

In this example, boolean values are converted into string using map() function. Here, the `map` function and lambda function is applied to each boolean element, converting 'True' to "Yes" and 'False' to "No".

bool_values = [True, False, True]

result = list(map(lambda x: "Yes" if x else "No", bool_values))

print("Original boolean value:", bool_values)
print("Converted string:", result)

Original boolean value: [True, False, True]
Converted string: ['Yes', 'No', 'Yes']
