abstract final class Boolean extends AnyVal

Boolean (equivalent to Java's boolean primitive type) is a subtype of scala.AnyVal. Instances of Boolean are not represented by an object in the underlying runtime system.

There is an implicit conversion from scala.Boolean => scala.runtime.RichBoolean which provides useful non-primitive operations.

Abstract Value Members

  1. abstract def !=(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if they evaluate to a different value.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if they evaluate to a different value.

    a != b returns true if and only if

    • a is true and b is false or
    • a is false and b is true.
  2. abstract def &(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if both of them evaluate to true.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if both of them evaluate to true.

    a & b returns true if and only if

    • a and b are true.
    Note

    This method evaluates both a and b, even if the result is already determined after evaluating a.

  3. abstract def &&(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if both of them evaluate to true.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if both of them evaluate to true.

    a && b returns true if and only if

    • a and b are true.
    Note

    This method uses 'short-circuit' evaluation and behaves as if it was declared as def &&(x: => Boolean): Boolean. If a evaluates to false, false is returned without evaluating b.

  4. abstract def ==(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if they evaluate to the same value.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if they evaluate to the same value.

    a == b returns true if and only if

    • a and b are true or
    • a and b are false.
  5. abstract def ^(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if they evaluate to a different value.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if they evaluate to a different value.

    a ^ b returns true if and only if

    • a is true and b is false or
    • a is false and b is true.
  6. abstract def unary_!: Boolean

    Negates a Boolean expression.

    Negates a Boolean expression.

    - !a results in false if and only if a evaluates to true and - !a results in true if and only if a evaluates to false.

    returns

    the negated expression

  7. abstract def |(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if one or both of them evaluate to true.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if one or both of them evaluate to true.

    a | b returns true if and only if

    • a is true or
    • b is true or
    • a and b are true.
    Note

    This method evaluates both a and b, even if the result is already determined after evaluating a.

  8. abstract def ||(x: Boolean): Boolean

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if one or both of them evaluate to true.

    Compares two Boolean expressions and returns true if one or both of them evaluate to true.

    a || b returns true if and only if

    • a is true or
    • b is true or
    • a and b are true.
    Note

    This method uses 'short-circuit' evaluation and behaves as if it was declared as def ||(x: => Boolean): Boolean. If a evaluates to true, true is returned without evaluating b.

  2. final def ##(): Int

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null.

    Equivalent to x.hashCode except for boxed numeric types and null. For numerics, it returns a hash value which is consistent with value equality: if two value type instances compare as true, then ## will produce the same hash value for each of them. For null returns a hashcode where null.hashCode throws a NullPointerException.

    returns

    a hash value consistent with ==

  10. final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

    Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

  19. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

    Compares the receiver object (this) with the argument object (that) for equivalence.

    Any implementation of this method should be an equivalence relation:

    • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
    • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type Any if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is usually necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects which are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same scala.Int. (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  22. def hashCode(): Int

    Calculate a hash code value for the object.

    Calculate a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

    returns

    the hash code value for this object.

  23. final def isInstanceOf[T0]: Boolean

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Test whether the dynamic type of the receiver object is T0.

    Note that the result of the test is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.isInstanceOf[String] will return false, while the expression List(1).isInstanceOf[List[String]] will return true. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the specified type.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is an instance of erasure of type T0; false otherwise.
