The parseBoolean() method of Boolean Class is a built in static method of the class java.lang.Boolean which is used to convert a given string to its boolean value.
Syntax:
Boolean.parseBoolean(String value)
Parameters: It takes one parameter value of type string which contains the value which is to be converted to boolean.
Return Value: It returns a primitive boolean value. It returns the true if the given value is equals “true” ignoring cases. Else it returns false.
Below are java code to illustrate parseBoolean() method:
Example 1:
class Lazyroar { // Driver method public static void main(String[] args) { // string value String value = "TrUe"; // parseBoolean using parse Boolean() method boolean result = Boolean.parseBoolean(value); // printing the result System.out.println(result); }} |
Output:
true
Example 2:
class Lazyroar { // Driver method public static void main(String[] args) { // string value String value = "true"; // parseBoolean using parse Boolean() method boolean result = Boolean.parseBoolean(value); // printing the result System.out.println(result); }} |
Output:
true
Example 3:
class Lazyroar { // Driver method public static void main(String[] args) { // string value String value = "gfg"; // parseBoolean using parse Boolean() method boolean result = Boolean.parseBoolean(value); // printing the result System.out.println(result); }} |
Output:
false
