Boolean

Boolean (bool) is a data type that can take one of two values: true or false. Syntax:

They are mostly used in comparison operators. Those operators (==, !=, <, >, >=, <=) return bool.

Note

std::cout prints booleans as numbers, 1 if the boolean is true, and 0 if the boolean is false.

cpp

main

123456789101112
#include <iostream> int main() { bool istrue = true; bool obv = (5 > 0); bool wrong = (2 * 2 == 5); std::cout << istrue << std::endl; std::cout << obv << std::endl; std::cout << wrong << std::endl; }

You can also flip the value of a boolean using the ! operator:

cpp

main

123456789
#include <iostream> int main() { bool istrue = true; std::cout << istrue << std::endl; std::cout << !istrue << std::endl; }

And most frequently, they are used as conditions in if/while/... statements.

cpp

main

123456789101112
#include <iostream> int main() { bool b = true; if (b) std::cout << "b is true" << std::endl; if (1 > 0) std::cout << "1 is greater than 0" << std::endl; }

The size of a bool in C++ is 1 byte. Yes, it would fit in 1 bit of memory, but you can't store a variable of size less than 1 byte (8 bit) in C++
