# false

## Category
Value Constructor

## Arity
**Nular** — no operands.

```
false
```

## Description
Returns the Boolean value `false`. Used in conditional expressions, logical operations, and as a literal constant.

## How It Works
`false` compiles to a nular command that pushes the singleton Boolean `false` onto the VM stack. It is a compile-time constant — no runtime computation.

## Usage

### Conditional checks
```sqf
if (false) then {
    systemChat "Never runs";
};
```

### Flag variables
```sqf
_isRunning = false;
_hasCompleted = false;
```

### Default values
```sqf
_flag = false;
if (_condition) then {
    _flag = true;
};
```

### Exit conditions
```sqf
while { _count > 0 } do {
    _count = _count - 1;
    if (_count == 0) exitWith {};
};
```

## Thread Safety
ReadOnly — Boolean values are immutable singletons. Safe from any scheduler.
