You could learn how to declare a type:
#include <stdio.h>

typedef enum {
    FALSE, TRUE
} BOOL;

int main()
{
    BOOL y[10], i;

    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
        y[i] = (i % 2) ? TRUE : FALSE;

    for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        printf("isodd(%d)? BOOL y[%d]=%5s\n",
               i, i, (y[i] == TRUE) ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");
    }
    return 0;
}


The use of i (of type BOOL) as an integer type in the code should
suggest to you that you never needed your BOOL type at all.
