to my knowledge, if you input any text it will return true and if you input nothing it will return false. if it's possible without if statements, how do i check if they inputted 'True' or 'False (/ '1' or '0') when im doing 'bool(input("Input True or False ")'.

Yeah, don’t do that. Users could accidentally or maliciously type something that would get executed as python code and break your program
