Yes, the default value of a boolean variable is false. So

boolean button = false;

and

boolean button;

are the same. However, it’s a good habit to always initialize your variables, just so that your code is more clear.

i would like to understand something please , if a boolean is anyway only t or false why do we have to specify
true or false when we declare the variable name in this example .
Or if flase is specified when variable is declared why shouldn’t we write only “button” instead of button = false when button false ?

Thank you

Patrick
