Boolean Data Type in Java

In Java, the boolean data type represents a boolean value, which can have one of two states: true or false. The boolean data type is used to store and manipulate logical values in Java programs.

Following is an example of declaring and using a boolean variable in Java:

boolean isTrue = true;
boolean isFalse = false;

System.out.println(isTrue);  // Output: true
System.out.println(isFalse); // Output: false

// Using boolean values in conditional statements
if (isTrue) {
    System.out.println("This statement is true.");
} else {
    System.out.println("This statement is false.");
}

In the example above, we declare two boolean variables: isTrue and isFalse. We assign the value true to isTrue and false to isFalse. Then, we use the System.out.println() method to print the values of the variables.

We can also use boolean values in conditional statements, such as if statements. If the condition evaluates to true, the code inside the if block will be executed; otherwise, the code inside the else block (if present) will be executed.
