How to I declare a Bool variable a value

hello, I have a very simple question. how do I declare a Bool variable and assign it a value? I tried something like this, but got several errors.

bool collectedCoin? = Yes;

now this may seem stupid but I honestly dont know what is wrong. do I need to put double quotes before and after the yes? I thought you used double quotes for strings.

Which language are you using? In C# it would be -

bool collectedCoin = true;

Bool is short for boolean which implies binary logic, true/false, 0/1.
