@nixCraft i thought it was "false = 0" and "true = 1". maybe its a C thing.

@DominicDeligann @nixCraft it's more false = 0 and true !0, then again C has no booleans

@joaquimCarneiro @DominicDeligann @nixCraft it does actually. They're even keywords in C23. Conditionals still accept ints, though.

@mrcarrot @DominicDeligann @nixCraft without including stdbool?

@joaquimCarneiro @DominicDeligann @nixCraft Yep. And even in C17, you can get them with the keywords _Bool, _False, and _True without including the header.

@mrcarrot @DominicDeligann @nixCraft i have seen _False and _True but never had the need to use it

@joaquimCarneiro @DominicDeligann @nixCraft Technically, you're using them when you include stdbool, since that just defines some slightly nicer names for them.
