## TRUE() and FALSE() functions overview

TRUE()and FALSE() functions generate the logical value true and false—outputting 1’s or 0’s and are often used in conditional statements like:

```plaintext
IF ({Cost} = {Price}, TRUE (), FALSE ())
```

## Using TRUE() in Airtable

Using TRUE() within a conditional statement allows you to output one message if the output is “True” and another message if it is “False.” In the binary example below, one message shows if a student “Passed” an exam and another message if they “Failed.”

```plaintext
IF(
   AND(
      {Stage 1}=TRUE(),   
      {Stage 2}=TRUE(),
      {Stage 3}=TRUE()
   ),
   "Passed",
   "Failed"
)
```

## Using FALSE() in Airtable

Using FALSE() within a conditional statement allows you to output one message if the output is “False” and another message if it is “True.” In the binary example below, one message shows if a student “Passed” an exam and another message if they “Failed.”

```plaintext
IF(
   AND(
      {Stage 1},
      {Stage 2},
      {Stage 3}
   )
   = 
   FALSE(),
   "Not all stages complete",
   "Passed all stages"
)
```
