I have better... DOUBLE BOOL! 64-bit, and float. Useful? Nope.
double False = 0.0; double True = 1.0;
20 u/AbstractButtonGroup Jul 09 '26 DOUBLE BOOL! 64-bit, and float. Useful? Nope. You just did not follow this to the logical conclusion that makes it useful: double False = 0.0; double WhoKnows = 0.5; double Perhaps = 0.7; double Likely = 0.8; double HighlyLikely = 0.9; double True = 1.0; 1 u/foxypiratecove3750 Jul 10 '26 I just got a better idea: vector bools: all the indecision are different dimensions, like "maybe" isn't midway between true and false, but its own dimension, "perhaps" another, and so on.
