Bool: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 00:58, 13 March 2010

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.

Booleans are really easy to use. Like so: Template:CodeExample MyBool = true

if MyBool then

--If "MyBool" is true, this code is run.

else

--If "MyBool" is false, this code is run.

end |}

Boolean
Property	(Bool true/false)

-Bools can also be used as numbers. '''true''' is 1 and '''false''' is 0. Sometimes you will see scripts like this:
-{{CodeExample}}
-MyBool = 1
-if MyBool == true then
-:--This code is run, since MyBool is '''1''', and thus true.
-else
-:--This bit is not run, since MyBool is true, not false
-end
