Boolean logic

Boolean logic is like a fun game of "yes" or "no"! It's a way of expressing the truthfulness of something in a simple way.

Boolean logic uses words like "yes," "no," "true," and "false" to indicate whether something is true or false. To play the game, you take something that you want to know and ask a question about it. Then you get an answer of either "yes" or "no." And that answer helps you figure out the truthfulness of the thing you were asking about. This can help you make decisions or solve problems.

For example, if you want to know if it will rain tomorrow, you can ask if it is going to be sunny. If the answer is "no," then you know it will probably rain tomorrow.

Boolean logic has many uses, like in computer programs and also in mathematics.
