No boolean in C(What)?

[Arjun Srivastava]

public class Main 
{
public static void main(String... aa)
{
boolean b;
for(System.out.println("hi");b=false;);
}

I was trying to make above code in C. And what i found boolean is not defined in C,sorry i was like What.
Ok fine let us C, i will use true and false as the string for testing.
Then i use keyword "string" as habitual of java,now string is also not there, undefined keyword.
You have to use to char [],now am pissed.
Finally i made it somehow.It's very difficult for me to learn C again after Java.

C doesnt provide an advanced API like Java does. Its always difficult to get back to a lesser advanced language coming from a high level language.

most variables in C can be uses as booleans. 0 is considered false, and 'not zero' is considered true. You could have written this:

      int  b;
      for(System.out.println("hi");b=0;);

although, it's not clear if you want b=0 or b==0.

Hi really thanks for the reply,
I have tried what you have advised,it works.
zero and non zero can be used inplace of boolean value.
C is still language of last decade for me, mixing Java and C, a tough job.

Actually, C99 and later define a type "_Bool"; the header "stdbool.h" defines macros "bool", "true" and "false", which evaluate to "_Bool", "1", and "0", respectively. The more recent C++ standard includes an actual type "bool" and actual type literals.
