15. Primitive Data Type BOOLEAN



Answer:
The character is not surrounded by apostrophes. It should be: 'W' .
With double quotes, "W", you get a String that contains a single character. This is not the same 
 as a primitive single character. A String is represented as an object and may consist of 
 several hundred bytes. A primitive character data item is always only two bytes.

Another of the primitive data types is the type boolean. It is used to represent a single true/false value. A boolean value can have only one of two values:
true     false
In a Java program, the words true and false always mean these boolean values. The data type boolean is named after George Boole, a nineteenth century mathematician, who discovered that a great many things can be done with true/false values. Although the amount of information in a boolean primitive is logically one bit, for convenience Java uses more than that to represent it.
