Primitive Type bool

The boolean type.

The bool represents a value, which could only be either true or false. If you cast a bool into an integer, true will be 1 and false will be 0.

Basic usage

bool implements various traits, such as BitAnd, BitOr, Not, etc., which allow us to perform boolean operations using &, | and !.

if requires a bool value as its conditional. assert!, which is an important macro in testing, checks whether an expression is true and panics if it isn’t.

let bool_val = true & false | false;
assert!(!bool_val);

Examples

A trivial example of the usage of bool:

let praise_the_borrow_checker = true;

// using the `if` conditional
if praise_the_borrow_checker {
    println!("oh, yeah!");
} else {
    println!("what?!!");
}

// ... or, a match pattern
match praise_the_borrow_checker {
    true => println!("keep praising!"),
    false => println!("you should praise!"),
}

Also, since bool implements the Copy trait, we don’t have to worry about the move semantics (just like the integer and float primitives).

Now an example of bool cast to integer type:

assert_eq!(true as i32, 1);
assert_eq!(false as i32, 0);

Implementations

impl bool

    T: , 

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (bool_to_option #80967)

Returns Some(t) if the bool is true, or None otherwise.

Examples

#![feature(bool_to_option)]

assert_eq!(false.then_some(0), None);
assert_eq!(true.then_some(0), Some(0));

pub fn then<T, F>(self, f: F) -> Option<T> where
    F: ~constFnOnce() -> T,
    F: , 

Returns Some(f()) if the bool is true, or None otherwise.

Examples

assert_eq!(false.then(|| 0), None);
