[Year 12 IT Apps] Boolean?

[Christopher Jansen]

I think you can use boolean as a data type to describe any field with just two options..
I would say you can use it for male / female... It would make the database more efficient.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi everyone.

Is it safe to talk yet??
I have told my students that boolean data type is ‘true/false’. We discussed how M or F (male or female) is text, not boolean.
The exam, question 5 has Travel-style or Business-style (T or B) as boolean. Have I taught my students incorrectly?


With thanks,
