Using boolean values in C

Question

C doesn\'t have any built-in boolean types. What\'s the best way to use them in C?

Answer 1

You could use _Bool, but the return value must be an integer (1 for true, 0 for false). However, It's recommended to include and use bool as in C++, as said in this reply from daniweb forum, as well as this answer, from this other stackoverflow question:

_Bool: C99's boolean type. Using _Bool directly is only recommended if you're maintaining legacy code that already defines macros for bool, true, or false. Otherwise, those macros are standardized in the header. Include that header and you can use bool just like you would in C++.
