The Boolean objet allows to represent a boolean and perform logical operations.
Allow to apply the main logical operations:
- and()
- or()
- not()
Allow to apply logical secondary operations:
- xor()
- implication()
- equivalence()
Allow to convert to other scalar types:
- asBool()
- asInteger() when you need 0 or 1
- asString() for debug representation
*Use case*
The main motivation is $result &= $callback() uses the bitwise operator &
and as such will return 0 or 1 instead of true and false.
With Boolean, $result.and($callback()) will work as expected.
