Talk:c/language/boolean type

Too granular

Why a whole page on what is only a two-line detail in implicit conversions? It seems too granular for practical use as a language reference. It's also named "Boolean type" so as a reader I would expect it to say what _Bool/bool/true/false are before mentioning what happens when scalars are converted to _Bool. --Cubbi (talk) 07:27, 15 October 2014 (PDT)

I agree. --Nate (talk) 08:41, 16 October 2014 (PDT)

"Boolean type" is the title of 6.3.1.2. As a reader of the standard, I would expect a title in cppreference to match a title in the standard when I go to cppreference for elaboration. Also, for further guidance, I looked for the word "granularity" in the FAQ's "What is the purpose of this site?" I struggle to avoid being too tutorial-ly while attempting to "provide programmers with a complete online reference." I continue learning what is expected. Regarding "Boolean type," I limited my submission to what is covered in 6.3.1.2 Newatthis (talk) 14:01, 16 October 2014 (PDT)

What is "a reader of the standard"? Programmers aren't its intended audience, which is the whole reason they use references such as this one to help them with their work. --Cubbi (talk) 19:27, 16 October 2014 (PDT)
