Super Boolean Powers! 💪
Now we mix booleans together to make new answers! 🎉
We use three magic helpers: AND, OR, and NOT.
AND Means Both 🤝
&& means AND. Both things must be true!
Sunny AND warm = perfect day! ☀️
let sunny = true;
let warm = true;
console.log(sunny && warm);AND Is Picky 🧐
If even ONE side is false, AND gives false. Both must be true! ✌️
let hasMap = true;
let hasKey = false;
console.log(hasMap && hasKey);OR Means Either 🙌
|| means OR. Just ONE side needs to be true!
Ice cream OR cake? Either makes me happy! 🍦🍰
let iceCream = false;
let cake = true;
console.log(iceCream || cake);OR Is Friendly 😊
OR is happy if at least one thing is true. Only false if BOTH are false. 🙃
let rain = false;
let snow = false;
console.log(rain || snow);NOT Flips It! 🔄
! means NOT. It flips true to false and false to true! 🙃
let hungry = true;
console.log(!hungry);NOT Is a Mirror 🪞
NOT is like a magic mirror. Whatever it sees, it shows the opposite! 🪞
let dark = false;
console.log(!dark);Mix Them Up! 🎨
You can use them together for big magic! 🌟
let day = true;
let sleepy = false;
console.log(day && !sleepy);A Game Example 🎮
Can the hero open the chest? They need a key AND must be near it! 🗝️
let hasKey = true;
let nearChest = true;
console.log(hasKey && nearChest);Remember the Symbols 🔣
&&= AND (both) 🤝||= OR (either) 🙌!= NOT (flip) 🔄
