Boolean.toString( ) Method — the value of the Boolean object converted to a string

Availability

Synopsis

booleanObject.toString( )

Returns

The string “true” if the primitive value of booleanObject is true; “false” if the primitive value of booleanObject is false. The value of the Boolean object is specified when the object is constructed and stored internally thereafter. Although the internal value of a Boolean object is inaccessible, we can use toString( ) to convert it to its string equivalent.

Description

The toString( ) method retrieves the primitive value of a Boolean object, converts that value to a string, and returns the resulting string.

Example

x = new Boolean(true);
trace(x.toString( ));  // Displays: "true"
