JavaScript Boolean valueOf() Method

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

Syntax:

boolean.valueOf()

Parameter: This method does not accept any parameter.

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

Example 1: Below is an example of the Boolean valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj 
// is created for the value 27

let obj = new Boolean(27);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function is 
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

true

Example 2: Here the Boolean object is created with the value true and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created 
// for the value true.

let obj = new Boolean(true);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function is 
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

true

Example 3: Here the Boolean object is created with the value 1 and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is
// created for the value 1.

let obj = new Boolean(1);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function 
// is used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

true

Example 4: Here the Boolean object is created with the value -1 and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is 
// created for the value -1.

let obj = new Boolean(-1);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function
// is used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

true

Example 5: Here the Boolean object is created with the value 1.2 and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is 
// created for the value 1.2

let obj = new Boolean(1.2);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function 
// is used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

true

Example 6: Here the Boolean object is created with the string value gfg and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is 
// created for the value as string "gfg"

let obj = new Boolean("gfg");
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function is 
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

true

Example 7: Here the Boolean object is created with the value false and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created for the value false.

let obj = new Boolean(false);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

false

Example 8: Here the Boolean object is created with the value 0 and used with the boolean.valueOf() method.

javascript

// Here Boolean object obj is created 
// for the value zero (0)

let obj = new Boolean(0);
 
// Here boolean.valueOf() function is 
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

false

Program 9: 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.valueOf() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());

Output:

Error: geeksforgeeks is not defined

Program 10: Here complex numbers 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.valueOf() function is
// used for the created object obj.
console.log(obj.valueOf());
