How can we store the results of a comparison in a variable?

The most suitable way to store the results of a comparison in a variable is by declaring a Boolean type. Comparisons, such as equality or inequality checks, evaluate to either true or false. Therefore, a Boolean variable is specifically designed to hold these two possible values. When a comparison is made—such as checking if one number is greater than another—the outcome will be a Boolean result, making the Boolean type the appropriate choice for storing those results.

This allows for clear and effective coding practices, as Boolean variables convey the logic of comparisons directly. They can be used in decision-making structures, like if statements, where actions can be taken based on whether a certain condition is true or false. Using a floating-point number, an integer type variable, or character arrays would not logically represent the true/false nature of the result of a comparison, leading to confusion and incorrect handling of program logic.
