- In C++ Boolean data type is defined using the bool keyword.
- This servers as an easy and convenient datatype for programmers to manage and write conditional statements using a boolean value, rather than an int.
- Usually true or false are assigned to boolean variables as their default numerical values.
- In C++ any numerical value can be assigned to a boolean variable, all values other than 00 are considered to be true and stored as 1, while 0 is considered to be false.
- In certain situations, they are provided to provide better control as well as for providing conveniences to C++ programmers.
- At C++ language the values true or false have been added as keywords.
- We can use bool type values or variables true and false in mathematical expressions.
- In numerical expression a boolean variable in C++ can be used as well.
- if a bool variable is equal to true (or any numeric value other than 0), 1is assigned to it and taken as 1 during the evaluation of the expression; 0 and false will be taken as 0.
