8.2.8 Boolean (Intrinsic)

The intrinsic Boolean represents boolean values, i.e. it can only assume true and false (which are predefined constants). This type corresponds to the enumerated type
 
type
  Boolean = (False, True);
Since it is declared this way, it follows:
 
Ord (False) = 0
Ord (True) = 1
False < True
There are four intrinsic logical operators. The logical and, or and not. In Borland Pascal and GNU Pascal, there is a logical "exclusive or" xor.
