In Julia unlike python for example values are not considered truthy. See a discussion about this concept here: [On the arbitrariness of truth(iness)](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/on-the-arbitrariness-of-truth-iness/81381).  
If you would like to test whether all values are nonzero for example you could provide a function to the all function:

```julia
julia> all(!iszero, [2,2,2], dims=1)
1-element Vector{Bool}:
 1

```
