What did the Boolean do? I didn't notice anything different. Also question about String noun;

What exactly does Boolean do? Also, when String noun; was put outside of the curly brackets, I'm just curious to know why it isn't necessary to assign the "Enter a noun: " and etc. I thought the commands inside the curly brackets aren't used or something?

Hi Han

A boolean value is a true/false (yes/no) type variable. I'm not quite sure what the rest of your question refers to but I would suggest re watching these videos to make sure you get the basics before moving forward too quickly as this course does get into the terminology pretty quickly and can be a bit daunting in places fi you're unprepared (not trying to put you off! :) )

I rewatched the video, must've dozed off during it. Thanks!
