Boolean expression is a C++ expression that returns a boolean value: 1 (true) or 0 (false).

You can use a comparison operator, such as the greater than (>) operator to find out if an expression (or a variable) is true:

Example

int x = 10;
int y = 9;
cout << (x > y); // returns 1 (true), because 10 is higher than 9

Or even easier:

Example

cout << (10 > 9); // returns 1 (true), because 10 is higher than 9
 

In the examples below, we use the equal to (==) operator to evaluate an expression:

Example

int x = 10;
cout << (x == 10);  // returns 1 (true), because the value of x is equal to 10

 

Example

cout << (10 == 15);  // returns 0 (false), because 10 is not equal to 15
