Boolean data type and its exmples in java programming

• Boolean is a primitive data type.
• Boolean is the smallest data type in Java which is made up of only 1 bit.
• Boolean data type represents only two possible values -  True and False.
• The default Boolean value is False.

Syntax to Declare Boolean variable :

 boolean <variable name> = <default value>;

Example:

  boolean x = true;

  boolean y = false;

Simple Sample Program Describing Boolean Data Type:

  public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

      boolean x = true;    

      System.out.println("x is " + x);

      int y = 5;

      boolean z = (y > 15);

      System.out.println("z is " + z);

      }

    } 

Output:

  x is true

  z is false
