For example, the condition `a < 5` is true if `a` is less than 5, and false if `a` is equal to or greater than 5. These types of values are often called _Boolean_ values, named after the English mathematician George Boole. In Python they are handled by the `bool` data type. Variables of type `bool` can only have two values: `True` or `False`.
