So what is going on here? When Python encounters the <code>if</code> keyword, it <i>evaluates</i> the <i>expression</i> following the keyword and before the colon.

In this case, because <code>1</code> is truthy, Python executes the code block under the if statement, and we see "1 is truthy" printed to the screen.
What about a 0? Is it truthy?
