Answer 1

It is because you're comparing 2 or any other number to true, which is 1, so your else test fails. else if (boo) will not care that boo is larger than 1.

Answer 2

check your mistake this run correctly

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int boo ;
cin>> boo;
if(boo == false)
cout<<"false";
else
cout<<"true";
return 0;
}
