benarsalah

Benar-salah refers to the binary truth values used in Indonesian language, logic, and education, represented by the words benar (true or correct) and salah (false or incorrect). The term describes statements or propositions that can be classified as either true or false within a logical or evaluative framework.

Etymology and usage are straightforward: benar comes from the Indonesian word for true or correct, and salah from wrong or incorrect. In educational contexts, especially in True/False exams, students choose between "benar" or "salah" to indicate whether a statement is correct. In formal logic and computer science texts translated into Indonesian, the concepts of true and false are commonly rendered as benar and salah, with true sometimes aligned to the value 1 and false to 0 in digital representations.

In practice, benarnya-salahnya of a proposition is determined by its adherence to factual or logical standards. In computing and digital logic, Indonesian materials often describe boolean values using these terms, though English terms true/false or 1/0 may also appear in technical documents. The phrases benaR atau salah and benaR-salah are widely understood in everyday Indonesian to denote binary evaluation.

Related topics include boolean logic, truth value, and true/false assessment. While benarsalah is most commonly used in classroom or instructional contexts, its underlying idea—binary evaluation of truth—permeates mathematics, logic, and computer science in Indonesian discourse.
