It would also matter what columns were next to it, correct?

For example, if you had 4 bools in a row, that could also be 1 byte..

What is the data physically stored as for boolean type? I know that it is one byte but is it char, int, or something else?


False represented by zero bytes and True by 1 byte with value 1.
