bool and int

[Weatherby,Gerard]

Booleans work exactly the way the language documentation says they work:

Booleans (bool<https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool>)
These represent the truth values False and True. The two objects representing the values False and True are the only Boolean objects. The Boolean type is a subtype of the integer type, and Boolean values behave like the values 0 and 1, respectively, in almost all contexts, the exception being that when converted to a string, the strings "False" or "True"are returned, respectively.
