# struct Bool

- Bool
- Value
- Object

##
Overview

Bool has only two possible values: `true` and `false`. They are constructed using these literals:

    true  # A Bool that is true
    false # A Bool that is false

See `Bool` literals in the language reference.

##
Instance Method Summary

- #!=(other : Bool) : Bool

  Returns `true` if `self` is not equal to other.

- #&(other : Bool) : Bool

  Bitwise AND.

- #==(other : Bool) : Bool

  Returns `true` if `self` is equal to other.

- #^(other : Bool) : Bool

  Exclusive OR.

- #|(other : Bool) : Bool

  Bitwise OR.

- #clone : Bool
- #hash(hasher)

  See `Object#hash(hasher)`

- #to_json(json : JSON::Builder) : Nil
- #to_s(io : IO) : Nil

  Appends `"true"` for `true` and `"false"` for `false` to the given IO.

- #to_s : String

  Returns `"true"` for `true` and `"false"` for `false`.

- #to_unsafe : LibC::Int

  Returns an integer derived from the boolean value, for interoperability with C-style booleans.

- #to_yaml(yaml : YAML::Nodes::Builder) : Nil

Instance Method Detail

def !=(other : Bool) : Bool #

Returns `true` if `self` is not equal to other.

def &(other : Bool) : Bool #

Bitwise AND. Returns `true` if this bool and other are `true`, otherwise returns `false`.

    false & false # => false
    false & true  # => false
    true & false  # => false
    true & true   # => true

def ==(other : Bool) : Bool #

Returns `true` if `self` is equal to other.

def ^(other : Bool) : Bool #

Exclusive OR. Returns `true` if this bool is different from other, otherwise returns `false`.

    false ^ false # => false
    false ^ true  # => true
    true ^ false  # => true
    true ^ true   # => false

def |(other : Bool) : Bool #

Bitwise OR. Returns `true` if this bool or other is `true`, otherwise returns `false`.

    false | false # => false
    false | true  # => true
    true | false  # => true
    true | true   # => true

def clone : Bool #
def hash(hasher) #

See `Object#hash(hasher)`

def to_json(json : JSON::Builder) : Nil #
def to_s(io : IO) : Nil #

Appends `"true"` for `true` and `"false"` for `false` to the given IO.

def to_s : String #

Returns `"true"` for `true` and `"false"` for `false`.

def to_unsafe : LibC::Int #

Returns an integer derived from the boolean value, for interoperability with C-style booleans.

The value is `1` for `true` and `0` for `false`.
