bookBoolean Type

When working with TypeScript, you will frequently use the boolean type to represent values that can be either true or false. The boolean type is fundamental for expressing logic in your programs, especially when you need to make decisions based on certain conditions. In TypeScript, a value of type boolean can only ever be true or false. This makes it ideal for controlling the flow of your code using conditional statements such as if and else.

// Declaring boolean variables let isActive: boolean = true; let hasPermission: boolean = false; // Using booleans in conditional logic if (isActive) { console.log("The feature is active."); } else { console.log("The feature is not active."); } if (hasPermission) { console.log("Access granted."); } else { console.log("Access denied."); }

You can declare a boolean variable in TypeScript by explicitly specifying its type using : boolean. However, TypeScript also supports type inference. This means that if you assign true or false to a variable at the time of declaration, TypeScript will automatically infer its type as boolean, even if you do not specify it explicitly. For example, let isLoggedIn = false; will be treated as a boolean variable because its initial value is false. Explicit typing is useful when you want to make your intentions clear or when a variable will be assigned later, while type inference helps keep your code concise and readable.
