Class Boolean

java.lang.Object
  extended by java.lang.Boolean

public final class Boolean
extends Object

The Boolean class wraps a value of the primitive type boolean in an object. An object of type Boolean contains a single field whose type is boolean.

Since:
JDK1.0, CLDC 1.0
Version:
12/17/01 (CLDC 1.1)

Field Summary
static Boolean FALSE
          The Boolean object corresponding to the primitive value false.
static Boolean TRUE
          The Boolean object corresponding to the primitive value true.
 
Constructor Summary
Boolean(boolean value)
          Allocates a Boolean object representing the value argument.
 
Method Summary
 boolean booleanValue()
          Returns the value of this Boolean object as a boolean primitive.
 boolean equals(Object obj)
          Returns true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Boolean object that represents the same boolean value as this object.
 int hashCode()
          Returns a hash code for this Boolean object.
 String toString()
          Returns a String object representing this Boolean's value.

Boolean

public Boolean(boolean value)
Allocates a Boolean object representing the value argument.

Parameters:
value - the value of the Boolean.

booleanValue

public boolean booleanValue()
Returns the value of this Boolean object as a boolean primitive.

Returns:
the primitive boolean value of this object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Returns true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Boolean object that represents the same boolean value as this object.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with.
Returns:
true if the Boolean objects represent the same value; false otherwise.

hashCode(), Hashtable

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hash code for this Boolean object.

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
