Primitive Type bool1.0.0 []

The boolean type.

The bool represents a value, which could only be either true or false. If you cast a bool into an integer, true will be 1 and false will be 0.

Basic usage

bool implements various traits, such as BitAnd, BitOr, Not, etc., which allow us to perform boolean operations using &, | and !.

if always demands a bool value. assert!, being an important macro in testing, checks whether an expression returns true.

let bool_val = true & false | false;
assert!(!bool_val);Run

Examples

A trivial example of the usage of bool,

let praise_the_borrow_checker = true;

// using the `if` conditional
if praise_the_borrow_checker {
    println!("oh, yeah!");
} else {
    println!("what?!!");
}

// ... or, a match pattern
match praise_the_borrow_checker {
    true => println!("keep praising!"),
    false => println!("you should praise!"),
}Run

Also, since bool implements the Copy trait, we don't have to worry about the move semantics (just like the integer and float primitives).

Now an example of bool cast to integer type:

assert_eq!(true as i32, 1);
assert_eq!(false as i32, 0);Run

impl<'a> Not for &'a bool

impl FromStr for bool
[src]

The associated error which can be returned from parsing.

Parse a bool from a string.

Yields a Result<bool, ParseBoolError>, because s may or may not actually be parseable.

Examples

use std::str::FromStr;

assert_eq!(FromStr::from_str("true"), Ok(true));
assert_eq!(FromStr::from_str("false"), Ok(false));
assert!(<bool as FromStr>::from_str("not even a boolean").is_err());Run

Note, in many cases, the .parse() method on str is more proper.

assert_eq!("true".parse(), Ok(true));
assert_eq!("false".parse(), Ok(false));
assert!("not even a boolean".parse::<bool>().is_err());Run
