Boolean

Contents

A Boolean variable is restricted to a binary state. This means it can only be one of two values. In numerical terms it is either a 1 or a 0. Two Trading Blox constants are available as variable terms to denote each of the binary state values allowed a Boolean.

Only a parameter can be declare as a Boolean type variable, but an Integer is often used to denote a True or False condition, so an Integer can be used as a scripting value to accept the value of a Boolean parameter, or provide a binary state process.

When a parameter is declared as a Boolean, the user will see a parameter on the Main screen displayed with selection list option that allows the user to select either True or False. If the user checked the "Stepping Enabled" option for the Boolean parameter, the Boolean parameter variable will still only have two options, but Trading Blox display a third option "Step True to False" that will enable Trading Blox to automatically step the value between True and False during a test.

Data-Type:	Description:
