What's the difference between a boolean literal and a boolean value?

Question

I can\'t seem to find a clear explanation as to what the difference is between these two. I\'d also like to point out that I don\'t really understand the difference between

Answer 1

Values are expressions that can't be evaluated any longer. That means, these are values:

• x
• 123
• true
• "asdqwe"

Now, literals are fixed value expressions. From the above list, the following are literals:

• 123
• true
• "asdqwe"

So, x has a value but not fixed.

Answering the main question, booleans can only have two literals: false and true, and every boolean variable is a boolean value.

You will see this in college in a compilers or computer semantics course, but the wikipedia pages linked here are very good if you still don't understand the difference.
