title: Why were booleans created?
body: <p>When I first started programming, the language I started with did not have booleans (Or, maybe they did, and I just didn't know about them) Nonetheless, I just used an integer set to either 0 or 1, for false or true. This worked out just fine for me.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, is there some specific reason booleans were created?</p>
