Java - Boolean Class

The Java Boolean class wraps a boolean primitive in an object, providing various methods and constructors for manipulation. It includes static fields for TRUE and FALSE, and methods for logical operations, comparisons, and conversions. An example demonstrates the creation and comparison of Boolean objects using the class's methods.

Java - Boolean class


Java Boolean Class
The Java Boolean class wraps a value of the primitive type boolean in an object. An object of
type Boolean contains a single field whose type is boolean.

static Boolean FALSE − This is the Boolean object corresponding to the primitive value
false.
static Boolean TRUE − This is the Boolean object corresponding to the primitive value
true.

boolean.

Boolean Class Constructors

Sr.No. Constructor & Description

Boolean(boolean value)
1
This allocates a Boolean object representing the value argument.

Boolean(String s)
2 This allocates a Boolean object representing the value true if the string argument is
not null and is equal, ignoring case, to the string "true".

Boolean Class Methods

Sr.No. Method & Description

boolean booleanValue()
1
This method returns the value of this Boolean object as a boolean primitive.

int compareTo(Boolean b)
2
This method compares this Boolean instance with another.

boolean equals(Object obj)


3 This method returns true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Boolean object
that represents the same boolean value as this object.

static boolean getBoolean(String name)


4 This method returns true if and only if the system property named by the argument
exists and is equal to the string "true".

int hashCode()
5
This method returns a hash code for this Boolean object.

int hashCode(boolean value)


6 This method returns a hash code for a given boolean value. It is compatible with
Boolean.hashCode().

static boolean logicalAnd​(boolean a, boolean b)


7 This method returns the result of applying the logical AND operator to the specified
boolean operands.

static boolean logicalOr(boolean a, boolean b)


8 This method returns the result of applying the logical OR operator to the specified
boolean operands.

static boolean logicalXor(boolean a, boolean b)


9 This method returns the result of applying the logical XOR operator to the specified
boolean operands.

static boolean parseBoolean(String s)


10
This method parses the string argument as a boolean.

String toString()
11
This method returns a String object representing this Boolean's value.

static String toString(boolean b)


12
This method returns a String object representing the specified boolean.

static Boolean valueOf(boolean b)


13
This method returns a Boolean instance representing the specified boolean value.

static Boolean valueOf(String s)


14
This method returns a Boolean with a value represented by the specified string.

Methods Inherited
This class inherits methods from the following classes −

java.lang.Object

Example of Java Boolean Class


The following example shows the usage of some important methods provided by Boolean class.

Open Compiler

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class BooleanDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {

// create 2 Boolean objects b1, b2


Boolean b1, b2;

// assign values to b1, b2


b1 = Boolean.valueOf(true);
b2 = Boolean.valueOf(false);

// create an int res


int res;

// compare b1 with b2
res = b1.compareTo(b2);

String str1 = "Both values are equal ";


String str2 = "Object value is true";
String str3 = "Argument value is true";
if( res == 0 ) {
System.out.println( str1 );
} else if( res > 0 ) {
Page 4 of 4

System.out.println( str2 );
} else if( res < 0 ) {
System.out.println( str3 );
}
}
}

Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

Object value is true
