is_empty()

- [Instructor] The last method we'll add to our stack class…is the is empty method.…This should return a Boolean value describing…whether or not the stack is empty.…To do this, all you need to do is test for a quality…between our stack instance which is represented…as a list and an empty list.…So, in code that looks like…return self dot items double equals empty list.…If our list is equivalent to an empty list,…that would return true, but if our list is not equivalent…to an empty list, that would return false.…

So I'm going to save our file…and we'll go back to the terminal.…I'll fire up the interpreter here.…Create our stack object,…and let's get right to testing this new is empty method.…Now the first time we run this after having created…our stack object, we expect that the is empty method…would return true, which it does.…So let's now push a string with apple in it on to our stack.…

We can double check that here.…My, whoops, typo, my stack dot items.…A list with only apple in it which is what we expect,…and now if we do my stack dot is empty, we should get false.…
