With braces it is also easier to add a statement to an if or else clause. boolean Data Type George Boole (1815 - 1864) boolean variables may have only two values, true or false. You define boolean fields or boolean local variables the same way as other variables. boolean true false Reserved words private boolean hasMiddleName; boolean isRolling = false; 7- There is no point, really, in using boolean symbolic constants because you can just use true and false in the code. George Boole was a British mathematician who studied properties of formal logic. Boolean Expressions In if ( ) is a Boolean expression. A Boolean expression evaluates to either true or false. Boolean expressions are written using boolean variables and relational and logical operators. 7- You can assign the result of an arithmetic expression to an int or double
