Often our programs face questions that can only be answered with yes or no.
Is the oven on? Is the light green? Did I eat breakfast?
These questions are answered with a boolean, a type that references one of two values: true
or false
.
We declare boolean variables by using the keyword boolean
before the variable name.
boolean javaIsACompiledLanguage = true; boolean javaIsACupOfCoffee = false;
In future lessons, we’ll see how boolean
values help navigate decisions in our programs.
Instructions
1.
Create a variable called intsCanHoldDecimals
. Set it to true
if the int
type can hold a decimal number. Set it to false
if the int
type cannot do this.
2.
Print out your intsCanHoldDecimals
variable.
