Can a bool variable store more than 0x01?

Question

#include 
#include 

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    bool a = 0x03;
    bitset<8> x(a);
    cout<

        

Answer 1

A bool can only hold two values: false and true.

When/if used in an integer context, a bool can be converted to an int. In this case, false converts to 0 and true converts to 1.

Regardless of the size of storage used for a bool (e.g., sizeof(bool)==1 and sizeof(bool)==4 are both fairly common) it can still only hold the two values false and true, which always convert to 0 and 1 respectively. No other value is possible.
