Create a Boolean Object

The Boolean object represents two values: "true" or "false".

The following code creates a Boolean object called myBoolean:

var myBoolean=new Boolean();

If the Boolean object has no initial value, or if the passed value is one of the following:

  • 0
  • -0
  • null
  • ""
  • false
  • undefined
  • NaN

the object is set to false. For any other value it is set to true (even with the string "false")!
