Programmin custom, 1 and 0 for Yes and No

[Cyont]

Hi,
Is there a programming custom for Yes and No when we convert them into
numeric? Is usually 1 for Yes and 0 for No, or vice versa?

I personally tend to use;

Yes = 1
No = 0

It varies across platforms and languages...

Most often it is:

Zero = False
Non-Zero = True

Some are more specific: 0 = False, 1 = True
Alternatives include: 0 = False, -1 = True

Are you talking generally or about a specific instance?
