A boolean is a binary value, indicating either a "true" or a "false".
In general, only a value of 0 or 1 is allowed. Any other value may cause undefined behavior, though as a rule of thumb any positive value is interpreted as "true".
| Value | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 0 | False (No) |
| 1 | True (Yes) |
