18 Aug Java Program to parse string to a Boolean object

To parse a string to a Boolean object, work with the valueOf() method in Java. The valueOf() returns a Boolean with a value represented by the specified string.

Syntax

public static Boolean valueOf(String str)

Let’s first create a Boolean:

Boolean b;

Now, use the valueOf() method to parse a string:

String str = "false";
Boolean b = Boolean.valueOf(str);

Let’s now see an example to parse string to a Boolean object and display the result:

Example

public class Example {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    System.out.println("Parsing a string to a Boolean object...");
    
    String str = "false";
    System.out.println("String = "+str);
   
    Boolean b = Boolean.valueOf(str);
    
    System.out.println("Result = "+b);
  }
}

Output

Parsing a string to a Boolean object...
String = false
Result = false
