Booleans represent binary logic (1 or 0). They are the foundation of decision-making in programming (if/else conditions).
Data Types: Primitives vs Non-Primitives
Why do booleans only hold true or false?
More FAQs in Data Types: Primitives vs Non-Primitives
A primitive data type is a basic, built-in type that holds a single, simple value, like an integer, character, or boolean.
In most languages (like Java and C++), Strings are non-primitive reference types because they are arrays of characters. In JS, they behave like primitives.
An integer stores whole numbers without a fractional component. A float (floating-point) stores numbers with decimal points.
