What Is a Boolean?
🧪 Concept:
A Boolean is a type of value that’s either true or false. That’s it — just those two options.
Booleans are used to answer yes-or-no questions in code, like:
let isSunny = true;
let hasUmbrella = false;
These values are especially useful when making decisions with if statements or controlling logic in your program.
🧰 Why It Matters:
Booleans are the building blocks of logic in code. They help your program know what to do — and when.
🎉 Quick Challenge:
Try creating a couple of Boolean values about yourself:
let likesPizza = true;
let hasCat = false;
Then use one in an if statement:
if (likesPizza) {
console.log("Same here 🍕");
}
🧠 Fun Analogy:
A Boolean is like a light switch — it’s either ON or OFF. No maybes.
