# false (C++)
The keyword is one of the two values for a variable of type [bool](../cpp/bool-cpp.md) or a conditional expression (a conditional expression is now a **true** Boolean expression). For example, if `i` is a variable of type `bool`, the `i = false;` statement assigns **false** to `i`.
## Example
```
// bool_false.cpp
#include
