[!note] Concept Python uses the bool type to represent truth values. It has only two values: True and False, both of which are subtypes of int.

[!example] Assigning Boolean Values

true_variable = True
false_variable = False

[!example] Boolean Expressions

result = True and True      # True
result = True and False     # False
result = False or True      # True
result = False or False     # False
result = not False          # True
result = not True           # False

[!important] Best Practices

• True and False must be capitalized.
• Use boolean logic to control flow and conditionals.
• Booleans are a subtype of int:

  int(True)   # 1
  int(False)  # 0

• typeConversions — shows how other types convert to bool
• numericTypes — relevant because bool is a subtype of int
