Boolean type support library
The C programming language, as of C99, supports Boolean arithmetic with the built-in type _Bool (see _Bool). When the header <stdbool.h> is included, the Boolean type is also accessible as bool.
Standard logical operators &&, ||, ! can be used with the Boolean type in any combination.
A program may undefine and perhaps then redefine the macros bool, true and false.
Macros
| Macro name | Expands to |
|---|---|
bool | _Bool |
true | integer constant 1 |
false | integer constant 0 |
__bool_true_false_are_defined | integer constant 1 |
Example
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
int main(void)
{
bool a=true, b=false;
printf("%d\n", a&&b);
printf("%d\n", a||b);
printf("%d\n", !b);
}Output:
0 1 1
