ToBool

Description

The toBool function converts a value to a boolean value.

Syntax

toBool(any value)

• value is the value to convert to a boolean value.

Remarks

• The function returns true if the value is truthy (true-like), false otherwise.
  Whether or not a value is truthy can be determined using the following table:

  Value Type	Truthy	Falsy
  bool	true	false
  number	> 0	<= 0
  string	"true" (case insensitive) or "1"	otherwise
  list	if not empty	otherwise
  map	if not empty	otherwise
  null	never	always
  void	never	always
  function	always	never

Examples

println(toBool(""))              // False
println(toBool("this is falsy")) // False
println(toBool("true"))          // True
println(toBool("false"))         // False
println(toBool("True"))          // True
println(toBool("1"))             // True
println(toBool("0"))             // False
println(toBool(0))               // False
println(toBool(1))               // True
println(toBool(2))               // True
println(toBool(-1))              // False
