Every programming language has its own convention. For example, in shell programming, 0 is true, and 1 (and any other numeric values except 0) are false.
In Ruby, only false
and nil
are "falsey". All other values (including 0, 0.0, Rational, BigDecimal, and Complex 0, empty Arrays, Hashes, Sets, and so on) are "truthy". The reason for this is that it's easy to remember. Remembering it is a step to becoming a Rubyist.
