Module Tablecloth.BoolSource

Functions for working with boolean (true or false) values.

Functions for working with boolean values.

Booleans in OCaml / Reason are represented by the true and false literals.

Whilst a bool isnt a variant, you will get warnings if you haven't exhaustively pattern match on them:

  let bool = false
  let string =
    match bool with
    | false -> "false"
  (*
    Warning 8: this pattern-matching is not exhaustive.
    Here is an example of a case that is not matched:
    true
  *)
Sourcetype t = bool

Create

Sourceval from_int : int -> bool option

Convert an Int into a Bool.

Examples

Bool.from_int 0 = Some false
Bool.from_int 1 = Some true
Bool.from_int 8 = None
Bool.from_int (-3) = None
Sourceval from_string : string -> bool option

Convert a String into a Bool.

Examples

Bool.from_string "true" = Some true
Bool.from_string "false" = Some false
Bool.from_string "True" = None
Bool.from_string "False" = None
Bool.from_string "0" = None
Bool.from_string "1" = None
Bool.from_string "Not even close" = None

Basic operations

Sourceval (&&) : bool -> bool -> bool

The lazy logical AND operator.

Returns true if both of its operands evaluate to true.

If the 'left' operand evaluates to false, the 'right' operand is not evaluated.

Examples

Bool.(true && true) = true
Bool.(true && false) = false
Bool.(false && true) = false
Bool.(false && false) = false
Sourceval (||) : bool -> bool -> bool

The lazy logical OR operator.

Returns true if one of its operands evaluates to true.

If the 'left' operand evaluates to true, the 'right' operand is not evaluated.

Examples

Bool.(true || true) = true
Bool.(true || false) = true
Bool.(false || true) = true
Bool.(false || false) = false
Sourceval xor : bool -> bool -> bool

The exclusive or operator.

Returns true if exactly one of its operands is true.

Examples

Bool.xor true true  = false
Bool.xor true false = true
Bool.xor false true  = true
Bool.xor false false = false
Sourceval not : t -> bool

Negate a bool.

Examples

Bool.not false = true
Bool.not true = false
Sourceval and_ : bool -> bool -> bool

The logical conjunction AND operator.

Returns true if both of its operands are true. If the 'left' operand evaluates to false, the 'right' operand is not evaluated.

Examples

Bool.and_ true true == true
Bool.and_ true false == false
Bool.and_ false true == false
Bool.and_ false false == false

Convert

Sourceval to_string : bool -> string

Convert a bool to a String

Examples

Bool.to_string true = "true"
Bool.to_string false = "false"
Sourceval to_int : bool -> int

Convert a bool to an Int.

Examples

Bool.to_int true = 1
Bool.to_int false = 0

Compare

Sourceval equal : bool -> bool -> bool

Test for the equality of two bool values.

Examples

Bool.equal true true = true
Bool.equal false false = true
Bool.equal false true = false
Sourceval compare : bool -> bool -> int

Compare two bool values.

Examples

Bool.compare true false = 1
Bool.compare false true = -1
Bool.compare true true = 0
Bool.compare false false = 0
