| == Introduction ==
| |
| A '''Boolean''', or '''Bool''' value is a very simple type of data. It can be either '''true''' or '''false'''. That's it. Either yes or no.
| |
| | |
| In Lua, everything that has a value is '''true''', unless it is '''nil''' or '''false'''.
| |
| | |
| {{LeftNoticeStart}}
| |
| One easy way to think of Boolean values is as a light switch. A switch has two positions, on and off. So when you flip the switch, you change it from one to the other.
| |
| | |
| The same idea works with bools, and you may also hear people say things like "flip the switch to true", or something similar. This is because a lot of people think of bools as switches.

| Booleans are really easy to use. Like so:
| |
| {{CodeExample}}
| |
| MyBool = true
| |
| | |
| if MyBool then
| |
| :--If "MyBool" is true, this code is run.
| |
| else
| |
| :--If "MyBool" is false, this code is run.
| |
| end
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| | |
| {{Property|
| |
| name = Boolean
| |
| |property = (Bool true/false)
| |
| |description = True or False, the only two states available. Really simple.
| |
| |object = N/A
| |
| |}}
