Boolean

Its literally, True or False, note the capitalization in python has a capital first letter, unlike other languages

Booleans are really important in cs, once we get to conditionals this becomes more apparent

# negate with not
print(not True)   # => False
print(not False)  # => True

Woah if a boolean is not one thing, its the other thing!!!

# Boolean Operators
# Note "and" and "or" are case-sensitive
print(True and False)  # => False
print(False or True)   # => True

Coming from other languages, || is or and && is and, it reads more like english

# True and False are actually 1 and 0 but with different keywords, you can do really cursed things with this info
print(True + True)  # => 2
print(True * 8)     # => 8
print(False - 5)    # => -5

We'll get into comparison operations in a second, but abusing the True is 1 and False is 0 principle we can do some more funny things

# Comparison operators look at the numerical value of True and False
print(0 == False)   # => True
print(2 > True)     # => True
print(2 == True)    # => False
print(-5 != False)  # => True
