Call bool on the object:

bool(bar1)

ANSWER 2

Score 1

Similar to JavaScript, you can use logical negation in Python. This uses the keyword not. One disadvantage of bool is you can change its value, as this is not a reserved word. If bool variable's value is not callable. For example, bool = 7, an error will be raised. If bool variable's value is callable. For example, bool = int, you may get an unexpected value.

JavaScript

!!bar1

Python

not not bar1
