a bool variable could hold true or false, while bool? could be null as well.

    Something can be true, false or undefined for many reasons. How would one answer “Is your third child a girl?” if one only has two children? Both true and false are incorrect. Null would be appropriate as saying that the comparison doesn’t apply.
