Which of the following is the correct way to assign a Boolean value to a variable in PowerShell?
A$flag = $true
B$flag = True
C$flag := $true
D$flag == $true

    PowerShell Boolean literals are '$true' and '$false' with a dollar sign and lowercase.

  2. Step 2: Check assignment syntax

    Assignment uses '=', so '$flag = $true' is correct. Other options use invalid syntax or missing '$'.

  3. Final Answer:

    $flag = $true -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Assign Boolean with '$true' and '=' [OK]
Quick Trick: Use '$true' and '=' to assign Booleans [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Omitting the '$' in Boolean literals
