Boolean

final abstract 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 methods

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.

Source: Boolean.scala

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.
Source: Boolean.scala

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.
Source: Boolean.scala

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.

Source: Boolean.scala

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.

Source: Boolean.scala

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
Source: Boolean.scala

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.
Source: Boolean.scala

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.
