: I have also seen #define TRUE ~FALSE

  This is horrible. It doesn't work!

  Suppose we have:

#define FALSE 0
#define TRUE ~FALSE

  Then TRUE will be -1 (ie. all bits set).

  Now suppose we want to add a "boolean" type:

typedef int BOOL;

  This will NOT work as it should:

int x=2, y=2;
BOOL b;

b = (x==y);

if(b == TRUE)
  puts("Equal");
else
  puts("Different");


  This will print "Different" although x and y are equal.
