Ah, that’s a solid approach, @vindhya.rddy! If you’re looking for something a bit more flexible and clean, especially when dealing with user input, I tend to use a dictionary mapping. Here’s a snippet:
x = {'true': 1, 'false': 0}.get(x.lower(), 0)
This method takes care of any capitalization issues (with .lower()) and ensures that ‘true’ gets mapped to 1 and ‘false’ to 0. Plus, if the string isn’t exactly ‘true’ or ‘false’, it defaults to 0. It’s pretty handy, and in the context of python bool to int, it works wonderfully.
