Boolean Variables

hello, have few questions variables. please understanding not experienced programmer.

i read digital input, store boolean variable.
could accomplish

code: [select]

boolean variable = digitalread(pin) or have along lines of

code: [select]

if(digitalread(pin)==high){
     boolean variable = true;
}
i thought first work because high , true both equal 1, wanted make sure. thanks!

quote

could accomplish

yes, because values returned digitalread(), high , low, correspond, value-wise, true , false.

if concerned digitalread() returning other values in future, use:

code: [select]

boolean flag = (figitalread(somepin) == high);
to set flag true when digitalread() returns high.
