Booleans
========
A **boolean** holds one of two values, :ref:`true
<lang-constants-true>` or :ref:`false <lang-constants-false>`. On a
Maple, each boolean variable has type ``bool``.
.. warning::
On an Arduino, the type ``boolean`` is also provided. While the
Maple also has this type for compatibility, **its use is strongly
discouraged**. The ``bool`` type is a standard part of C++, while
``boolean`` is a non-standard extension that serves no purpose.
Example
-------
::
int ledPin = 13; // LED on pin 13
int switchPin = 12; // momentary switch on 12, other side connected to ground
// running is a boolean variable:
bool running = false;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(switchPin, INPUT);
digitalWrite(switchPin, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistor
}
void loop() {
if (digitalRead(switchPin) == LOW) {
// switch is pressed - pullup keeps pin high normally
delay(100); // delay to debounce switch
running = !running; // toggle running variable
digitalWrite(ledPin, running) // indicate via LED
}
}
