Boolean values: Difference between revisions

In C#, there are the reserved keywords <code>true</code> and <code>false</code>. Variables to hold these values are declared as either <code>bool</code> or <code>Boolean</code>. These types are identical, as <code>bool</code> is just shortandshorthand for <code>Boolean</code>. The collection type <code>BitArray</code> returns its values as <code>Boolean</code>, packing 8 values into each byte (In contrast, the <code>Boolean</code> type uses the entire byte for one value).
