Convert Boolean to String

To convert a boolean value to a String you need to use the wrapper class of the boolean datatype.
It has the same name as the datatype boolean, but it begins with the captial B - Boolean.
To convert a boolean value you create an instance of the wrapper class sending the boolean value as argument to the constructor.
Then you simply call the toString() method which will return a String representation of the boolean value.
 
/**
* Main.java
*
* @author chintan patel
*/
public class Main {
/**
* Boolean to String conversion
*/
public void convertBooleanToString() {
boolean theValue = true;
//Do the boolean to String conversion
String theValueAsString = new Boolean(theValue).toString();
System.out.println(theValueAsString);
}
/**
* Starts the program
*
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Main().convertBooleanToString();
}
}
