Primitive Type bool

1.0.0 ·
Expand description

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);
Run

§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!"),
}
Run

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);
Run

Implementations§

impl bool

1.62.0 · source

pub fn then_some<T>(self, t: T) -> Option<T>

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

Arguments passed to then_some are eagerly evaluated; if you are passing the result of a function call, it is recommended to use then, which is lazily evaluated.

§Examples
assert_eq!(false.then_some(0), None);
assert_eq!(true.then_some(0), Some(0));
Run
let mut a = 0;
let mut function_with_side_effects = || { a += 1; };

true.then_some(function_with_side_effects());
false.then_some(function_with_side_effects());

// `a` is incremented twice because the value passed to `then_some` is
// evaluated eagerly.
assert_eq!(a, 2);
Run
1.50.0 · source

pub fn then<T, F: FnOnce() -> T>(self, f: F) -> Option<T>

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

§Examples
assert_eq!(false.then(|| 0), None);
assert_eq!(true.then(|| 0), Some(0));
Run
let mut a = 0;

true.then(|| { a += 1; });
false.then(|| { a += 1; });

// `a` is incremented once because the closure is evaluated lazily by
// `then`.
assert_eq!(a, 1);
Run
