Doesn't J handle booleans the same as C, i.e. 0,1?
If not, how do APL/J handle booleans?

Subject: [Jchat] Characterizing how J and other APLs handle Booleans distinctly 
from most languages

Hi -

While looking at the Wikipedia entry on "Boolean data type" recently, I
noticed that the APL family is - as usual - unrepresented.  Since I was
looking here because of the maddening arbitrariness with which Booleans are
handled in other languages, it occurs to me that the much cleverer handling
of Booleans characteristic of the APL world should be given a higher
profile.

So, any ideas on a Wikipedia entry for "APL, J" handling of Booleans?

Thanks,

Devon
