In this Python tutorial we are going to learn about Boolean variables and IF statements. So far we have learned about three types of things, that we can store in a variable, a String, an Integer, or a Float.
In this video we are going to learn about a 4th type. This type is called Boolean or Bool for short.
A Boolean variable can only have two possible values, either True or False.
In this example, I have created 3 variables, a String name, An Int age, and a float weight. Let’s create another variable that is going to be a Boolean variable.
Boolean variables are useful to represent things that only have two states, either on or off, or True or False. Let’s create a variable that will represent if a person is an adult or not. A person can either be an adult or not so a Boolean variable is ideal to represent it. So I create a descriptive variable name:
is_adult = True
or is_adult = False
