What is Boolean means in Visual BASIC?
Boolean refers to values that can only be True or False. If you
are setting up a boolean variable, only True or False can be stored
in it. This is a standard element of programming languages for
situations involving options for True/False, Yes/No etc. When you
see something in a program like "Do you want to continue
(Yes/No)?", the reply given is stored as a boolean value. They can
be referred to as logical values. The term boolean comes from the
mathematician George Boole, after whom they are named.
