It may help to think of boolean as a light switch.
It's either on or off. In programming, we call on "true", and off is "false".
When you compare things (the "things" could be int, or something else), the result of the comparison is either "true" or "false". So no matter what kind of things you are comparing, the result of the comparison is a boolean.
