    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*

    if it's not needed, then how would you answer this question?

    well, first, what you're looking for (as suggested by Dave_Sinkula's link) is a boolean data type.

    second, the ++ has nothing to do with boolean data types. Third, || means "OR".

    Boolean logic has a pretty wide scope sometimes, so for now I suggest you start reading around... Here's a good place to get you started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_logic

    True or false.

    One side is true OR the other side is false. ||
    One side is true AND the other side is false. &&
    This is not false (it's true). !
