Difference between x%2 and x%2 == 0

Can anyone please tell me how are below 2 bits of code being interpreted differently and giving different results: def check (x): return x%2 == 0 numbers = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66] result = list(filter(check, numbers)) print(result) def check (x): return x%2 numbers = [11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66] result = list(filter(check, numbers)) print(result)

The filter() method constructs an iterator from elements of an iterable for which a function returns true In first case it returns Boolean, returns true if x%2==0 and store that values else false and not stored the value In second case the function returns 0 or 1 if odd number it returns 1 and if even returns 0 As true=1 and false=0 Which returns 1 it considered as true and stored it

Filter returns items in sequence for which function returns True, in first case true: x%2=0, in second: x%2=1

But I did not specify x%2= 1 in second code and it still gives me the following result: [11, 33, 55]
