PBool

Plutarch level boolean terms can be constructed using pconstant True and pconstant False.

pTheAnswer :: forall s. Term s PInteger
pTheAnswer = pif (pconstant False) 7 42

You can combine Plutarch booleans terms using #&& and #||, which are synonyms to && and ||. These are Haskell level operators and therefore have short circuiting. If you don't need short circuiting, you can use the Plutarch level alternatives- pand' and por' respectively.

Note: Be aware that there's a difference between pif' and pif, the former of which is strict (i.e. it evaluates both branches eagerly), the latter of which is lazy. pif' will be a Plutarch level function, whereas pif is Haskell level.

This is synonymous to Plutus Core builtin boolean.
