[2Ed] Chapter 20: Boolean Operations And Conditionals

Most people have heard that computer data is, at its base level, composed entirely of 1s and 0s, bits that are either true or false. However, only programmers really understand how much of programming is about boiling a problem down to a true or false value and then responding to it.

In this chapter, you learn about Boolean operations like AND, OR, and NOT; you learn about comparison statements like >, <, ==, and !=; and you come to understand conditionals like if and switch. These all lie at the heart of programming.
