Below are the examples to illustrate booleanValue() method:

Program 1:

class GeeksforGeeks {

    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // creating a Boolean object.
        Boolean b = new Boolean(true);

        // get primitive data type using booleanValue()
        boolean value = b.booleanValue();

        // Print the result
        System.out.println(value);
    }
}

Output:

true

Example 2:

class GeeksforGeeks {

    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // creating a Boolean object.
        Boolean b = new Boolean(false);

        // get primitive data type using booleanValue()
        boolean value = b.booleanValue();

        // Print the result
        System.out.println(value);
    }
}

Output:

false
