boolvalue

Boolvalue is a term used to denote a boolean value in logic and computing, representing one of two truth values: true or false. It lies at the core of conditional evaluation and decision making in many systems.

Boolvalues have their conceptual roots in Boolean algebra, developed by George Boole, which underpins digital logic

In programming, boolean types are often treated as distinct from numeric types, though some languages reuse

Many languages provide explicit ways to obtain boolvalues from other data, via casting, coercion, or dedicated

Examples of boolean values include True and False in Python, true and false in many languages with
