A term borrowed from English that, in logic and computer science, denotes the truth value 'falsch' (false). It is the opposite of 'true' (wahr).
Die Funktion gibt „true“ zurück, wenn die Bedingung erfüllt ist, und andernfalls „false“.
The function returns 'true' if the condition is met, and otherwise 'false'.
The term 'false' is a technical word from computer science and logic. Do not use it in everyday life as a substitute for the German word 'falsch' (wrong/false).
Das Ergebnis der Prüfung ist „false“, also müssen wir den Fehler suchen.
The result of the check is 'false', so we have to look for the error.
Unlike normal German adjectives, 'false' is not declined. It is used as a fixed, unchanging value.
Die Variable hat den Zustand „false“.
The variable has the state 'false'.
'False' is almost always used as part of the pair of opposites 'true / false' (wahr / falsch). This pair describes the only two possible states in binary logic.
Ein Computer versteht am Ende nur eine Abfolge von „true“ und „false“.
In the end, a computer understands only a sequence of 'true' and 'false'.
wrong / false
'falsch' and 'false' can both mean the opposite of 'wahr' (true). The difference is mainly in the context. 'falsch' is the normal German word for everyday life, school, statements, and mistakes. 'false' is used in German almost only in computer science or logic, for example as a truth value in a program. Learners may confuse the words because 'false' looks like the English word and has the same basic idea. In normal German sentences, however, you almost always say 'falsch', not 'false'.
Im Programm steht der Wert auf false, deshalb wird die Funktion nicht gestartet.
In the program, the value is set to false, so the function is not started.
