Solution:

There are several ways to check a list is empty or not in python. The most used and easy way is:

>>> x=[]
>>> if not x:
    print ("This list is empty")
else:
    print ("Yeah! you got it")

Another way is to use the if len(list)

def Enquiry(x): 
    if len(x) == 0: 
        return 0
    else: 
        return 1
          
# Driver Code 
x = [] 
if Enquiry(x): 
    print ("Yeah! you got it") 
else: 
    print("This List is empty")

I hope things are clear to you now. Keep digging.
