BOOLEAN

The adjective 'Boolean' [], coined in honour of George Boole, is used in many contexts:

★ An evaluation that results in either of the truth values 'true' or 'false'.

★ A 'Boolean value' is a logical value, either 'true' or 'false', often coded 1 and 0, respectively.

★ A 'Boolean-valued function' of one variable is a ''characteristic function'' or an ''indicator function'' of a subset of its domain, namely "the support" of that function

★ For a Boolean-valued function of two variables see binary relation.

★ For use in mathematics, see Boolean algebra (structure).

★ For a logical calculus of truth values or set membership, see Boolean algebra (logic).

★ In Computer Science, "Boolean" is a datatype, usually a primitive datatype. See Boolean datatype.

★ A 'Boolean network' consists of a set of Boolean variables whose state is determined by other variables in the network.
