In c, in bool, true == 1 and false == 0?
More accurately anything that is not 0 is true. So 1 is true, but so is 2, 3 … etc.

This might be a dumb question It is not. in the property below, will there ever be a situation where just getting it will cause an exception? Possibly, yes. For example, another thread could abort your thread while it was in the middle of fetching that property; that would appear to be an exception thrown … Read more
It’s part of C99 and defined in POSIX definition stdbool.h.
The other likely size for it is that of int, being the “efficient” integer type for the platform. On architectures where it makes any difference whether the implementation chooses 1 or sizeof(int) there could be a trade-off between size (but if you’re happy to waste 7 bits per bool, why shouldn’t you be happy to … Read more
You can actually accomplish this using only boolean logic, although there’s perhaps no practical value of that in your example. The boolean version is much more involved than simply counting the number of true values. Anyway, for the sake of satisfying intellectual curiosity, here goes. First, the idea of using a series of XORs is … Read more
Yes: In C++ (§4.5/4): An rvalue of type bool can be converted to an rvalue of type int, with false becoming zero and true becoming one. In C, when a value is converted to _Bool, it becomes 0 or 1 (§6.3.1.2/1): When any scalar value is converted to _Bool, the result is 0 if the … Read more
Include <stdbool.h> header #include <stdbool.h> int main(void){ bool b = false; } Macros true and false expand to 1 and 0 respectively. Section 7.16 Boolean type and values < stdbool.h > 1 The header <stdbool.h> defines four macros. 2 The macro bool expands to _Bool. 3 The remaining three macros are suitable for use in … Read more
Empty strings are “falsy” (python 2 or python 3 reference), which means they are considered false in a Boolean context, so you can just do this: if not myString: This is the preferred way if you know that your variable is a string. If your variable could also be some other type then you should … Read more
