Boolean logicWhat is Boolean logic?

When designing programs, there are often points where a condition needs to be tested in order to make a decision. Conditions are formed using Boolean logic.

What is Boolean logic?

use simple comparisons to help make decisions. is a form of algebra where all are either True or False. These values of true and false are used to test the that and are based around.

Boolean logic is a form of algebra where all values are evaluated to be either True or False. For example 3 is equal to 3 is evaluated as true and 8 is greater than 10 is evaluated as false.

Boolean logic uses algebra and algebraic expressions. We use these expressions in algorithms and programs.
