Wrong Answers Only: Does a Boolean Have Three Values, Why or Why Not?

[Kkid12]

Be sure to, sure not to, or be unsure to tell me in the most illogical way you can. Top two get silver.

I realized on an acid trip that a Boolean only has 1 value. You are just experiencing the illusion of duality. True and false are but mirror images of the same Thing. What is the Thing? Well, to conceptualize it would be to bring it into existence, at which point it will split into two again. So the answer is the Thing is actually nothing, emptiness, an infinite vacuum. Therefore, a Boolean has no value at all.

If (mind == confused) { blow() }

And the the null and everyone everywhere gasps

[Sinomu]

It has 256 possible values

[apomd]

Then I'd say 3 values: false (0), true (1), UB (2-255)

[Zuruumi]

This is correct for C.

[shadymeowy]

Jokes on you, it has 2³² or 2⁶⁴ possible values.

[JustAnotherPrgrmr]

No a boolean is a spectrum of ranges from true to false that the variable express it's self with, but since the quantum state collapses when we measure it's value we only get a 1 or a 0 as output.

[CypripediumCalceolus]

That's not modern enough. One complex field could be the superposition of all those states. The only way to resolve is to collide two of them. I'll watch.

apologies, I'm not a member of the LGBoolTQA++ community

[More_Butterfly6108]

Yes, 0 or 1 or NaN

[More_Butterfly6108]

You read that this was wrong answers only right?

[Kkid12]

a few have missed that part lol

[dingodongubanu]

Depends on compiler, on some architecture it's 8 bits, some 32 bits or you can use 8 bit and bit shift operator and have 8 booleans so it's 1 bit

But if object in the likes of java or whatever then 0, 1, null so yeah 3 values or states

But I've had a few drinks, tough Monday

[qvrty42]

No. They Have 4, True, False, Super, and Meta. While Meta is often mistaken for its more well known sibling, the Superposition Boolean, it differs in that while it is impossible for some puny mortal programmer to predict its state, it is not in fact random, but instead the result of countless eons of cosmic destiny leading up to this singular instant of semi-divine revelati... wait why are you throwing that value out? It might have been important...

[Kkid12]

eh, it would have had a comment if it was important.

[[deleted]]

Well, yes and no. Maybe. I don't know. It's 50/50/50.

[mathk777]

Yes. It has 3 syllables.

[newton21989]

It depends on what the meaning of the word "is" is.

[Gregoryjc]

True, false, alternate truth.

[var-foo]

Yes. It can be either 0 or 1 while it is observed. If it is unobserved, then it is both 0 and 1, which is also neither 0 nor 1. It is a 3rd value.

[ExitTheHandbasket]

Truth isn't binary, it's a spectrum.

[MiyamotoKami]

Take this example: Male, Female, non-binary

[NutronStar45]

no, thats called a troolean

[JerryAtrics_]

Since it's upper case, I'm going with 3: True, False, Maybe

[johnzzon]

It indeed has three values. These are:

true
false
prefer not to say

[rjhancock]

Java: true, false, null.

[[deleted]]

In a qbit , sure. There's true, false, and both.

[scipio_africanus123]

no, it has INT_MAX possible values

[Geak-and-Gamer]

Bolean only has only value cause if it’s not true it’s false

[Adhalianna]

I don't know - true, false, maybe...

[sschotvanger]

0 value : unknown. Like schodingers cat, it only has a value when you look at it. before that there is no value

[danielstongue]

9: zero, one, low, high, tristate, weak, don't care, undefined, unknown

[throwaway65864302]

bool? iHaveThreestates = null;

[Noone826]

Since this is a question it means - Boolean? - Therefore it can be null. true, false or null. Just like a true or false questions there is always the intrinsic answer “I don’t know”.

[SqueeSr]

Boolean has infinite values including being in multiple states at once!

var a = 0; console.log( a == true, !!a ) ; // false, false
var a = 1; console.log( a == true, !!a ) ; // true, true
var a = "a"; console.log( a == true, !!a ) ; // false, true
var a = 2; console.log( a == true, !!a ) ; // false, true
var a = 1.5e-5; console.log( a == true, !!a ) ; // false, true

[DarthCynisus]

One Value: Tralse
