Is there a better way of learning Boolean values? or Can i go further with JavaScript without properly understanding?

I was doing just fine before boolean values, I am able to read and write the codes but i don't understand What's going on?

So can i go further with Java script without actually understanding the boolean

I’d say boolean values are vital, because they’re used in all kinds of control structures like loops and conditional statements. What don’t you understand about them? All they are is true/false values and that’s it :-)

What exactly is giving you a problem? If you tell us exactly, maybe we could help you understand.

Like Strings (lists/arrays of characters), Integers (whole numbers), and floating points (decimal numbers), booleans are just another type of value that the interpreter recognizes. They can only be either true, or false. Since they can only hold the value true, or the value false, you can use them directly in conditional tests:

var isTrue = true; if (isTrue) { CODE; }

The CODE above would run because isTrue is a variable to which you've assigned the value of true.

dunno if that helps?
