Purpose
True and false are Boolean values that you can use to set or test the value of switch variables:
set fred to true set barney item 3 to false do when fred = true
Note that switch variables return a true or false value directly so that do when fred = true
and do when fred
do the same thing. Similarly, do when fred = false
does the same thing as do unless fred
.
While all switches default to false, you should explicitly set the value of all variables before using them. This makes your programs easier to read and helps avoid errors.
