Java - Boolean Class booleanValue() Method

Boolean class booleanValue() method: Here, we are going to learn about the booleanValue() method of Boolean class with its syntax and example. By Preeti Jain Last updated : March 17, 2024

Boolean class booleanValue() method

booleanValue() method is available in java.lang package.
booleanValue() method is used to return the value denoted by this Boolean object converted to type boolean (by casting).
booleanValue() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
booleanValue() method does not throw an exception at the time of conversion from Boolean to boolean.

Syntax

public boolean booleanValue();

Parameters

It does not accept any parameter.

Return Value

The return type of this method is boolean - it returns a converted (from type Boolean to boolean) value represented by this Boolean object.

Example

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of booleanValue() method of Boolean class

public class BooleanValueOfBooleanClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // It returns boolean value denoted by this Boolean ob1 object
        // and converted to a boolean by calling ob1.booleanValue()
        Boolean ob1 = new Boolean(true);

        // Display ob1 result
        System.out.println("ob1.booleanValue(): " + ob1.booleanValue());

        // It returns boolean value denoted by this Boolean ob2 object
        // and converted to an boolean by calling ob2.booleanValue()
        Boolean ob2 = new Boolean(false);

        // Display ob2 result
        System.out.println("ob2.booleanValue(): " + ob2.booleanValue());
    }
}

Output

ob1.booleanValue(): true
ob2.booleanValue(): false
