# [[Java Booleans Real Life]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
A raw boolean check (`myAge >= votingAge`) becomes actionable once wrapped in an if/else — this chapter's whole point is showing that booleans are the RAW MATERIAL, and if/else is what turns them into branching program behavior. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **Voting-age check** — `int myAge = 25; int votingAge = 18; System.out.println(myAge >= votingAge);` prints just `true`/`false`. [S1]
- **Wrapped in if/else** — produces an actual human-readable message depending on the result. [S1]
- **Booleans as the foundation** — the source explicitly states booleans underlie all Java comparisons and conditions. [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- Raw boolean output: `System.out.println(myAge >= votingAge); // true`. [S1]
- Actionable via if/else: [S1]
```java
if (myAge >= votingAge) {
    System.out.println("Old enough to vote!");
} else {
    System.out.println("Not old enough to vote.");
}
```

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)
소스에서 모순되는 정보는 발견되지 않음.

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — 다음 챕터(If...Else)로 넘어가기 전, boolean이 조건문의 기반이라는 점을 명시적으로 예고한다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
Boolean check turned actionable via if/else (Java):
```java
int myAge = 25;
int votingAge = 18;
if (myAge >= votingAge) {
    System.out.println("Old enough to vote!");
} else {
    System.out.println("Not old enough to vote.");
}
```

- **상태:** draft
- **검증 단계:** conceptual
- **출처 신뢰도:** B (W3Schools — widely used educational reference, not a primary standards body)
