convert a non-Boolean value to a Boolean value (true or false).

the Boolean object, go to our

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();
|
Note: If the Boolean object has no initial value or if it is 0, -0, null, "", false,
undefined,
or NaN, the object is set to false. Otherwise it is true (even with the string
"false")!
All the following lines of code create Boolean objects with an initial value
of false:
var myBoolean=new Boolean();
var myBoolean=new Boolean(0);
var myBoolean=new Boolean(null);
var myBoolean=new Boolean("");
var myBoolean=new Boolean(false);
var myBoolean=new Boolean(NaN);
|
And all the following lines of code create Boolean objects with an initial value
of true:
var myBoolean=new Boolean(true);
var myBoolean=new Boolean("true");
var myBoolean=new Boolean("false");
var myBoolean=new Boolean("Richard");
