A way to remember Booleans

Equal == it is like saying yes yes it does equal Not Equal != imagine this sign "!" as the first part of wrting Not, when you write the letter N you gotta use l first then \ then I so it would be like l\l so if you do it like !\!, it would be easier to remember.

Be careful there: == and != aren't booleans. They are relational operators which return booleans. A boolean is a 1 bit datatype, so it can either be 1 (true) or 0 (false).

Chris Actually the size of a boolean datatype is at least 1 Byte (8bits) because in this way it can be addressed. Memory is addressable in bytes, not in bits.

seamiki actually a booleans size is 1 byte OR greater, it depends on how it was implemented in the compiler.
