How to 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.

package org.best.examples;

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();
    }
}
