In computer science, a Boolean expression is an expression used in programming languages that produces a Boolean value when evaluated. A Boolean value is either true or false.A Boolean expression may be composed of a combination of the Boolean constants True/False or Yes/No, Boolean-typed variables, Boolean-valued operators, and Boolean-valued functions.
A law of Boolean algebra is an identity such as x ∨ (y ∨ z) = (x ∨ y) ∨ z between two Boolean terms, where a Boolean term is defined as an expression built up from variables and the constants 0 and 1 using the operations ∧, ∨, and ¬. The concept can be extended to terms involving other Boolean operations such as ⊕, →, and ≡ ...

Boolean domain, a set consisting of exactly two elements whose interpretations include false and true; Boolean circuit, a mathematical model for digital logical circuits.

In mathematics, a Boolean function is a function whose arguments and result assume values from a two-element set (usually {true, false}, {0,1} or {-1,1}). [1] [2] Alternative names are switching function, used especially in older computer science literature, [3] [4] and truth function (or logical function), used in logic.
Boolean operation or Boolean operator may refer to: Boolean function, a function whose arguments and result assume values from a two-element set Boolean operation (Boolean algebra), a logical operation in Boolean algebra (AND, OR and NOT) Boolean operator (computer programming), part of a Boolean expression in a computer programming language
The BIT data type, which can only store integers 0 and 1 apart from NULL, is commonly used as a workaround to store Boolean values, but workarounds need to be used such as UPDATE t SET flag = IIF (col IS NOT NULL, 1, 0) WHERE flag = 0 to convert between the integer and Boolean expression.
The use of + symbol as a prefix before a keyword requires that word be in a search result. When using multiple Keywords this serves as an AND function requiring that all words with a + sign be in a search result. [2] The use of - symbol as a prefix before a keyword eliminates that word from search results. This is the NOT Boolean operation [2 ...
