JavaScript Boolean toString() Method

The boolean.toString() method is used to return a string either “true” or “false” depending upon the value of the specified boolean object. 

Syntax:

boolean.toString()

Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter. 

Return Values: It returns a string either “true” or “false” depending upon the value of the specified boolean object. 

Below are examples of the Boolean toString() method.

Example 1:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj
// is created for the value 27
let obj = new Boolean(27);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

true

Example 2:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is
// created for the value true.
let obj = new Boolean(true);

// Here boolean.toString() function
// is used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

true

Example 3:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is
// created for the value 1.
let obj = new Boolean(1);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

true

Example 4:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is
// created for the value -1.
let obj = new Boolean(-1);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

true

Example 5:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is
// created for the value 1.2
let obj = new Boolean(1.2);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

true

Example 6:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created
// for the value as string "gfg"
let obj = new Boolean("gfg");

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

true

Example 7:

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created
// for the value false.
let obj = new Boolean(false);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

false

Errors and Exceptions: If we try to assign a new boolean with a variable that is not defined or a complex number then an error will be thrown instead of the default true/false value.

Example 1: Here the value as geeksforgeeks gives an error because this value is not defined only true and false have been predefined. 

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created
// for the value geeksforgeeks.
let obj = new Boolean(geeksforgeeks);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

Error: geeksforgeeks is not defined

Example 2: Here complex number can not be taken as the parameter only integer values and strings can be taken as the parameter which is why it returns an error. 

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created for the
// value such as complex number 1+2i
let obj = new Boolean(1 + 2i);

// Here boolean.toString() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.toString());

Output:

Error: Invalid or unexpected token
