What a confuse 'False'

By -
Hi everybody!

Recently I was working with dictionary contains 0 value and string key. Little bit annoyed when I ran the code, the algorithm was not successful. What I did was checking dictionary value (which contains 0 value) with "get" method. Yeah it's returned to 0 which is read as false in python. If you use it in if-else statement, it would be passed to else. Let me explain what I did in my case below.

The code:

1
2
3
4
5
somedict = { 'first': 0, 'second': 1}  
 if somedict.get('first', False):  
   print 'Yeay somedict is read as True'  
 else:  
   print 'No! somedict is read as False'

What I got when running the code:

Finally I got an idea to fix this. I changed my if-else statement with keys() function and guess what? It's working. Here my fix for the code above.

1
2
3
4
5
somedict = { 'first': 0, 'second': 1}  
 if 'first' in somedict.keys():  
   print 'Yeay somedict is read as True'  
 else:  
   print 'No! somedict is read as False'

Another Way to Access Virtual Machine via http

Previously, I posted how to access http from virtual machine here. In that post I said I use NAT connection. I found another way to connect it. It is simpler than previous configuration. You don't have to set port number or anything else. Just select type of connection Bridge Adapter and obtain IP address of virtual machine then write it down to your host machine. Now you could access virtual machine. What you can access? Anything that allowed by virtual machine, not only http.
