.. _class_bool_method_bool:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **bool** **(** :ref:`int<class_int>` from **)**

Cast an :ref:`int<class_int>` value to a boolean value, this method will return ``true`` if called with an integer value different to 0 and ``false`` in other case.

----

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **bool** **(** :ref:`float<class_float>` from **)**

Cast a :ref:`float<class_float>` value to a boolean value, this method will return ``true`` if called with a floating point value different to 0 and ``false`` in other case.

----

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **bool** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` from **)**

Cast a :ref:`String<class_String>` value to a boolean value, this method will return ``true`` if called with a non empty string and ``false`` in other case. Examples: ``bool('False')`` returns ``true``, ``bool('')`` returns ``false``.
