How to use boolean datatype in C

Question

I was just writing code in C and it turns out it doesn t have a boolean bool datatype  Is there any C library which I can include to give me the ability to return a boolean bool datatype

C99 introduced  Bool as intrinsic pure boolean type  No  includes needed   int main void       Bool b   1    b   0      On a true C99  or higher  compliant C compiler the above code should compile perfectly fine

If you have a compiler that supports C99 you can   include  lt stdbool h gt    Otherwise  you can define your own if you d like   Depending on how you want to use it  and whether you want to be able to compile your code as C     your implementation could be as simple as    define bool int  define true 1  define false 0   In my opinion  though  you may as well just use int and use zero to mean false and nonzero to mean true   That s how it s usually done in C

We can use enum type for this We don t require a library  For example             enum  false true     the value for false will be 0 and the value for true will be 1

As an alternative to James McNellis answer  I always try to use enumeration for the bool type instead of macros  typedef enum bool  false 0  true 1   bool   It is safer b c it lets the compiler do type checking and eliminates macro expansion races

C99 has a boolean datatype  actually  but if you must use older versions  just define a type   typedef enum  false 0  true 1  bool
