# false — the Boolean false literal

[Syntax and values](README.md)

## Behavior and details

The lowercase keyword false denotes the Boolean false value. It differs from Number 0, empty Text, empty collections, and None. Pliro performs no truthiness conversion. A false condition skips an if body or ends a while loop.

## Example

```pliro
# language: en
let ready = false
if ready:
    say "A"
else:
    say text(ready)
```
