Booleans
data Bool
The Bool type is an enumeration. It is defined with False first so that the corresponding Enum instance will give fromEnum False the value zero, and fromEnum True the value 1.
Constructors
False
True
show/hide Instances
Operations
(&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
Boolean "and"
(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
Boolean "or"
not :: Bool -> Bool
Boolean "not"
otherwise :: Bool

otherwise is defined as the value True. It helps to make guards more readable. eg. 

  f x | x < 0     = ...
      | otherwise = ...
