Simplifying an 'if' statement with bool()

Question

I have some code that causes Pylint to complain:

The if statement can be replaced with 'var = bool(test)' (simplifiable-if-statement)`

The code (with obfuscated variable names) is below.

A = True
B = 1
C = [1]
D = False
E = False

if A and B in C:
    D = True
else:
    E = True

print(D, E)

How can this be simplified so that Pylint does not throw any errors?

I don't quite understand how bool() can be used for this. I know it converts any value to a Boolean value, but I don't know how it can be applied here.

Answer 1

That logic can be expressed as:

D = A and B in C
E = not D

Answer 2

Try this:

D = bool(A and B in C)
E = not bool(A and B in C)
