Boolean values

You can use the Boolean variables true and false in GeoGebra. Just type, for example, a = true or b = false into the Input Bar and press the Enter-key.

Check Box and Arrow Keys

Free Boolean variables can be displayed as check boxes in the Graphics View (see tool Check Box to Show/Hide Objects Tool). By using the arrow keys of your keyboard you may also change Boolean variables in the Algebra View (see section Manual Animation).

Note: You may also use Boolean variables like numbers (value 0 or 1). This allows you to use a checkbox as the dynamic speed of an animated slider allowing you to start and stop the animation. In this case, the animation button is only shown in the Graphics View if there is also an animated slider with static (i. e. non-dynamic) speed.

Operations

You can use the following operations for Boolean variables and conditions in GeoGebra by either selecting them from the list next to the Input Bar or by entering them using the keyboard:

Operation	List	Keyboard	Example	Object types
Equal	≟	==	a ≟ b or a == b	numbers, points, lines, conics a, b
Unequal	≠	!=	a ≠ b or a != b	numbers, points, lines, conics a, b
Less than	<	<	a < b	numbers a, b
Greater than	>	>	a > b	numbers a, b
Less or equal than	≤	<=	a ≤ b or a <= b	numbers a, b
Greater or equal than	≥	>=	a ≥ b or a >= b	numbers a, b
And	∧	&&	a ∧ b or a && b	Booleans a, b
Or	∨	||	a ∨ b or a || b	Booleans a, b
Not	¬	!	¬a or !a	Boolean a
Parallel	∥		a ∥ b	lines a, b
Perpendicular	⊥		a ⊥ b	lines a, b
Belongs to	∈		a ∈ list1	number a, list of numbers list1
