In addition, this class provides a number of methods for converting a boolean to a String and a String to a boolean, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with a boolean.

The Boolean object corresponding to the primitive value false.

The Boolean object corresponding to the primitive value true.

Allocates a Boolean object representing the value argument.

Parameters:

value - the value of the boolean

Allocates a Boolean object representing the value true if the string argument is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true". Otherwise, allocate a Boolean object representing the value false.

Parameters:

s - the string to be converted to a Boolean

Returns:

the primitive boolean value of this object.

The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Boolean object that contains the same boolean value as this object.

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare with

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

Overrides:

equals in class Object (I-§1.12.3).

The result is true if and only if the system property (I-§1.18.9) named by the argument exists and is equal, ignoring case¹, to the string "true".

Parameters:

name - the system property name

Returns:

the boolean value of the system property.

Returns:

a hash code value for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object (I-§1.12.6).

If this object contains the value true, a string equal to "true" is returned. Otherwise, a string equal to "false" is returned.

Returns:

a string representation of this object.

Overrides:

toString in class Object (I-§1.12.9).

A new Boolean object is constructed. This Boolean contains the value true if the string argument is not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true".

Parameters:

s - a string

Returns:

The Boolean value represented by the string.
