Booleans in Java are represented by the `boolean` type, whose values can be either `true` or `false`.

Java supports three boolean operators:

- `!` (NOT): negates the boolean
- `&&` (AND): takes two booleans and results in true if they're both true
- `||` (OR): results in true if any of the two booleans is true
- `||` (OR): results in true if any of the two booleans are true
