Module 1: Introduction to Boolean Data Types
Objective: Understand the concept of Boolean values (`True` and `False`) and their use in decision-making.
Example (Python):
```python
is_sunny = True
is_raining = False
if is_sunny:
print("It's a sunny day!")
else:
print("It's not sunny today.")
```
Output:
```
It's a sunny day!
```
Here, the `is_sunny` Boolean value is `True`, so the `if` condition is satisfied, and the program prints "It's a sunny day!".
---
Module 2: Boolean Variables and Assignments
Objective: Learn how to declare and use Boolean variables.
Example (JavaScript):
```javascript
let isWeekend = true;
let isHoliday = false;
if (isWeekend || isHoliday) {
console.log("You can relax today!");
} else {
console.log("Time to work.");
}
```
Output:
```
You can relax today!
```
In this example, the `if` statement uses the `OR` (`||`) operator to check if either `isWeekend` or `isHoliday` is `true`. Since `isWeekend` is `true`, the message "You can relax today!" is printed.
---
Module 3: Comparison Operators
Objective: Understand comparison operators (`==`, `!=`, `>`, `<`, etc.) and their results as Boolean values.
Example (Python):
```python
x = 10
y = 5
# Comparison to check if x is greater than y
is_greater = x > y
print(is_greater)
```
Output:
```
True
```
Here, `x > y` evaluates to `True` because `10` is indeed greater than `5`.
---
Module 4: Logical Operators and Combining Boolean Expressions
Objective: Learn how to combine multiple Boolean expressions using logical operators (`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`).
Example (Python):
```python
age = 25
has_ticket = True
# Check if the person is eligible to attend the concert
if age >= 18 and has_ticket:
print("You can enter the concert.")
else:
print("You cannot enter the concert.")
```
Output:
```
You can enter the concert.
```
Here, both conditions (`age >= 18` and `has_ticket`) must be true for the `AND` (`and`) operator to return `True`, allowing entry to the concert.
---
Module 5: Truth Tables and Boolean Algebra
Objective: Understand how truth tables represent Boolean operations and how to simplify expressions.
Example: **AND Operator Truth Table
```plaintext
A | B | A AND B
--------|---------|---------
True | True | True
True | False | False
False | True | False
False | False | False
```
---
Module 6: Conditional Statements and Boolean Expressions
Objective: Learn how to use Boolean expressions in control flow (`if` / `else` statements).
Example (Java):
```java
int temperature = 30;
boolean isHot = temperature > 25;
if (isHot) {
System.out.println("It's a hot day!");
} else {
System.out.println("It's a pleasant day.");
}
```
Output:
```
It's a hot day!
```
In this example, `isHot` is `true` because `temperature > 25`. The `if` block is executed, printing "It's a hot day!".
---
Module 7: Boolean Expressions in Loops
Objective: Use Boolean expressions to control loops and iterate based on conditions.
Example (Python):
```python
count = 0
is_done = False
while not is_done:
count += 1
if count == 5:
is_done = True
print("Loop finished!")
```
Output:
```
Loop finished!
```
The `while` loop continues until `is_done` is `True`. The loop runs five times, then stops when `is_done` is set to `True`.
---
Module 8: Boolean Arrays and Lists
Objective: Work with arrays or lists that store Boolean values to represent multiple conditions.
Example (Python):
```python
attendance = [True, False, True, True, False, True]
# Check if all students attended class
all_attended = all(attendance)
if all_attended:
print("All students attended class.")
else:
print("Some students missed class.")
```
Output:
```
Some students missed class.
```
Here, `all(attendance)` checks if all elements in the list are `True`. Since there are `False` values in the list, the output is "Some students missed class."
---
Module 9: Advanced Topics in Boolean Logic
**Objective:** Explore advanced uses of Boolean logic in programming.
Example: **Boolean Logic in SQL (Database Queries)
```sql
SELECT * FROM users WHERE age >= 18 AND is_active = true;
```
This SQL query retrieves records where the user is **18 or older** and **active**. Both conditions are Boolean expressions, and the `AND` operator combines them.
---
Module 10: Final Project and Review
Objective: Apply what you've learned to a real-world problem using Boolean logic.
Example Project: **Login System**
Create a login system that checks if both the username and password are correct using Boolean expressions.
**Python Example:**
```python
correct_username = "admin"
correct_password = "1234"
username = input("Enter your username: ")
password = input("Enter your password: ")
if username == correct_username and password == correct_password:
print("Login successful!")
else:
print("Invalid username or password.")
```
**Output Example:**
```
Enter your username: admin
Enter your password: 1234
Login successful!
```
If either the `username` or `password` is incorrect, the `else` block will execute, printing "Invalid username or password."

### **Key Takeaways:**
1. **Booleans** are essential for decision-making, and can either be `True` or `False`.
2. **Comparison operators** compare values and return a Boolean result (e.g., `==`, `>`, `<`).
3. **Logical operators** combine multiple Boolean expressions: `AND`, `OR`, and `NOT`.
4. **Truth tables** help visualize how Boolean operations work.
5. **Conditional statements** (`if`, `else`, `elif`) and **loops** (`while`, `for`) use Booleans to control program flow.
6. **Arrays of Booleans** can be used to represent multiple conditions or states.
By mastering Boolean expressions and comparisons, you can create more efficient programs that make decisions based on multiple conditions.
