    Python, checking in …

    return (a or b)
    

    Parentheses aren’t necessary, I just prefer them for readability.

    See python documentation on boolean operators for reference. Short story is a or b is an expression that evaluates to a if a is “truthy” else b. “Falsy” is empty strings/containers, 0 and None.
