Edit Question
Title
Body
So I was having problems with a code before because I was getting an empty line when I iterated through the foodList. Someone suggested using the 'if x.strip():' method as seen below. for x in split: if x.strip(): foodList = foodList + [x.split(",")] It works fine but I would just like to know what it actually means. I know it deletes whitespace, but wouldn't the above if statement be saying if x had empty space then true. Which would be the opposite of what I wanted? Just would like to wrap my ahead around the terminology and what it is doing behind the scenes.
