What type of value does a Boolean expression produce?

An integer value
A floating-point value
A true or false value
A string value

The correct answer is: A true or false value

A Boolean expression produces a true or false value, which is fundamental to logical operations in programming and computer science. These expressions evaluate conditions or comparisons, leading to one of two outcomes: true, indicating that the condition is met, or false, indicating that it is not. For example, in a programming context, a condition like "5 > 3" evaluates to true, while "2 == 3" evaluates to false. This true or false value is a core concept in control structures like if statements, loops, and logical operations where decisions must be made based on conditions. Understanding how Boolean expressions work is crucial for writing effective algorithms and controlling the flow of a program.
