Can I assign 1 or 0 into bool variable?

Question

Can I assign 1 or 0 into bool variable? static void Main(string[] args) { bool b = 1; Console.WriteLine(b); Console.ReadLine();

Hello I think its not possible at all Reason is that 1 is acts as integer value while true / false does not For converting int to bool you can use below code : class pyramid { static void Main(string[] args) { // Declared int int b = 1; // Converting int to bool bool b1 = Convert.ToBoolean(Convert.ToInt16(b)); // Printing bool value Console.WriteLine(b); Console.ReadLine(); } } Output will be : 1 But you can check the value by using integer 1 or 0 like below : if (b == 1) { Console.WriteLine( "value is true" ); } else { Console.WriteLine( "value is false" ); } Output will be : 1 value is true I hope ur doubt will be solved Thanks

hi, you can not assign 1 Or 0 to boolen variable directly if you wanted to assign then convert this 1 or 0 into boolean, but it act as true or false 1=true 0=false in your example after assigning b=1 then your writing to console than the value it will disply true not 1 try the below code you will understand more. static void Main( string [] args) { bool b = Convert.ToBoolean(1); Console.WriteLine(b); Console.ReadLine(); } output you will get is True.

Evaluate bool variable b on certain condition as bool b = intValue != 0;
