In C, there is no built-in Boolean data type. Instead, Boolean values are represented using integers, where 0 represents false and any nonzero value represents true.
For example, the following code demonstrates the use of Boolean values in C:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int x = 5;
int y = 7;
int is_greater = (x > y);
if (is_greater) {
printf("%d is greater than %d\n", x, y);
} else {
printf("%d is not greater than %d\n", x, y);
}
return 0;
}
In this example, the program sets the variable is_greater to the result of the comparison x > y, which evaluates to false because 5 is not greater than 7. The program then uses an if statement to check the value of is_greater and prints a message accordingly.
C also provides a set of Boolean operators that can be used to combine Boolean values. These operators include:
&&(logical AND)||(logical OR)!(logical NOT)
For example, the following code demonstrates the use of Boolean operators in C:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int x = 5;
int y = 7;
int z = 3;
if (x < y && y < z) {
printf("%d < %d < %d\n", x, y, z);
} else {
printf("The condition is false\n");
}
return 0;
}
In this example, the program uses the logical AND operator (&&) to check if both x < y and y < z are true. Since y < z is false, the condition is false and the program prints a message accordingly.
While C does not have a built-in Boolean data type, the use of integers to represent Boolean values is a common and accepted practice in C programming.
