# false (C++)

The keyword is one of the two values for a variable of type [bool](../cpp/bool-cpp.md) or a conditional expression (a conditional expression is now a **`true`** Boolean expression). For example, if `i` is a variable of type **`bool`**, the `i = false;` statement assigns **`false`** to `i`.

## Example

```cpp
// bool_false.cpp
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    bool bb = true;
    printf_s("%d\n", bb);
    bb = false;
    printf_s("%d\n", bb);
}
```

```Output
1
0
```
