3.5.3 Boolean Types

Static Semantics

{Boolean} There is a predefined enumeration type named Boolean, [declared in the visible part of package Standard]. {False} {True} It has the two enumeration literals False and True ordered with the relation False < True. {boolean type} Any descendant of the predefined type Boolean is called a boolean type.

1.a

Implementation Note: An implementation is not required to support enumeration representation clauses on boolean types that impose an unacceptable implementation burden. See 13.4, ``Enumeration Representation Clauses''. However, it is generally straightforward to support representations where False is zero and True is 2**n - 1 for some n.
