title: Why is True equal to -1
body: <p>I was wondering why True is equal to -1 and not 1. If I remember correctly (back in the days) in C, "true" would be equal to 1.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    Dim t, f As Integer
  
      t = True
      f = False
  
      Console.WriteLine(t) ' -1
      Console.WriteLine(f) ' 0
      Console.ReadLine()
  </code></pre>
