What does the Boolean data type store?

• A. Decimal numbers
• B. True or False
• C. Whole numbers
• D. Text

Answer: (B)

Boolean values represent the logical state of a condition and store true or false. This is what you use to make decisions in a program: if a condition evaluates to true, one path runs; if it’s false, another path runs. It’s not for numbers or text—decimals describe fractional numbers, whole numbers are integers, and text is a sequence of characters. In practice you often see booleans as the result of comparisons (like x > y), and that true/false result drives control structures and flags.
