Detailed explanation-1: -In computing, the term Boolean means a result that can only have one of two possible values: true or false. Boolean logic takes two statements or expressions and applies a logical operator to generate a Boolean value that can be either true or false. To return the result, operators like AND, OR, NOT, etc. are used.
Detailed explanation-2: -Logical (Boolean) Operators. z/OS TSO/E REXX User’s Guide. SA32-0982-00. Logical expressions, like comparison expressions, return a true (1) or false (0) value when processed. Logical operators combine two comparisons and return the true (1) or false (0) value depending on the results of the comparisons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Boolean logic is a type of algebra in which results are calculated as either TRUE or FALSE (known as truth values or truth variables). Instead of using arithmetic operators like addition, subtraction, and multiplication, Boolean logic utilizes three basic logical operators: AND, OR, and NOT.
Detailed explanation-4: -A boolean is a data type with two possible values: true (1) or false (0). The two values help represent truth conditions found in logic control structures. The name comes from a branch of mathematics called Boolean algebra, named after George Bool.
