I haven't comprehended the Bool usage in coding. What do they do?Why do we even use true or false?

Are the Booleans an argument apart or they're used for numbers?

I asked myself the same question when i started coding. I think you will understand the usage trough time. I use booleans for checking e.g. if somebody is logged in. In this case you create a variable called isLoggedin and set it to true or false. The short syntax of checking if the variable is true or false is "if isLoggedIn {}". You don't have to write "if isLoggedIn == true {}". You will come over more examples if you continue with Pasans courses.
