C++ Boolean Expressions
Boolean Expression
A Boolean expression is a C++ expression that returns a boolean value: 1 (true) or 0 (false).
You can use a comparison operator, such as the greater than (>) operator to find out if an expression (or a variable) is true:
Example
int x = 10;
int y = 9;
cout << (x > y); // returns 1 (true), because 10 is higher than 9
Run example »
Or even easier:
In the examples below, we use the equal to (==) operator to evaluate an expression:
Example
int x = 10;
cout << (x == 10); // returns 1 (true), because the value
of x is equal to 10

Booleans are the basis for all C++ comparisons and conditions.
You will learn more about conditions (if...else) in the next chapter.
