i have a situation where widgets either pass or fail a
test and i record the result.
i'm thinking of using boolean to track this - true for
pass, false for fail.
i've used int2 in other situations b/c i couldn't be
as sure that only two outcomes were possible. i could
use int2 here, also (ie, 0 for fail, 1 for pass).
does it make a practical difference which one i use?
as always, thanks for the help. it is much appreciated.
