C++ Booleans

C++ Booleans

Introduction: 

In C++, booleans are a fundamental data type used to represent truth values. They have a binary nature, meaning they can only have two possible values: true or false. Booleans play a crucial role in decision-making processes and control flow statements within C++ programs. This documentation provides an overview of C++ booleans, their usage, and some examples to better understand their significance.
