Learn Java by Example: Java Program to convert string type variables into boolean

Java Program to convert string type variables into boolean

In this program, we will learn to convert the String type variables into boolean in Java.

 


Example 1: Convert string to boolean using parseBoolean()


class Main{
  public static void main(String[] args){

    // create string variables
    String str1 = "true";
    String str2 = "false";

    // convert string to boolean
    // using parseBoolean()
    boolean b1 = Boolean.parseBoolean(str1);
    boolean b2 = Boolean.parseBoolean(str2);

    // print boolean values
    System.out.println(b1);    // true
    System.out.println(b2);    // false
  }
}

In the above example, we have used the parseBoolean() method of the Boolean class to convert the string variables into boolean.

 


Example 2: Convert string to boolean using valueOf()

We can also convert the string variables into boolean using the valueOf() method. For example,


class Main{
  public static void main(String[] args){

    // create string variables
    String str1 = "true";
    String str2 = "false";

    // convert string to boolean
    // using valueOf()
    boolean b1 = Boolean.valueOf(str1);
    boolean b2 = Boolean.valueOf(str2);

    // print boolean values
    System.out.println(b1);    // true
    System.out.println(b2);    // false
  }
}

In the above example, the valueOf() method of Boolean class converts the string variables into boolean.

Here, the valueOf() method actually returns an object of the Boolean class. However, the object is automatically converted into a primitive type. This is called unboxing in Java.

That is,


// valueOf() returns object of Boolean
// object is converted onto boolean value
boolean b1 = Boolean obj = Boolean.valueOf(str1)

Two Machine Learning Fields

There are two sides to machine learning:

  • Practical Machine Learning:This is about querying databases, cleaning data, writing scripts to transform data and gluing algorithm and libraries together and writing custom code to squeeze reliable answers from data to satisfy difficult and ill defined questions. It’s the mess of reality.
  • Theoretical Machine Learning: This is about math and abstraction and idealized scenarios and limits and beauty and informing what is possible. It is a whole lot neater and cleaner and removed from the mess of reality.
