Boolean VS Number Variable

Is there any difference in performance if I use a number variable with value 0 and 1 versus a boolean? What are some advantages of using boolean instead of number variable? Thanks.

The boolean variable only needs to store one byte of information. So a boolean variable is slightly better for storage and performance. But only very, VERY slightly. So unless you have literally a million variables, it won't make a difference.

I would recommend using a boolean variable, just because it lets you do things, like toggle the boolean. Which is surprisingly difficult to achieve with a number variable.

You can toggle a number variable which is either 0 or 1 using,

abs(variable -1) or 1-variable

What are some advantages of using boolean instead of number variable?

For better code readability and debugging. Doesn't affect machine execution if you are comparing it against 1 and 0. But :

playerJumping == true [/code:1r2dvnv4]
is more human readable than say :
[code:1r2dvnv4] playerJumping == 1 [/code:1r2dvnv4]
