boolean

The $\lstinline{boolean}$ data type has two possible values, either $\lstinline{true}$ or $\lstinline{false}$. Default value is always $\lstinline{false}$. They are usually used for true/false conditions. For example,


\begin{lstlisting} class BooleanExample { public static void main(String[] args) { \par boolean flag = true; System.out.println(flag); } } \end{lstlisting}
