Java Boolean Class Methods

The Boolean class in Java is a wrapper class that provides methods for working with the boolean primitive type. It allows for the conversion of boolean values to strings and vice versa, as well as providing methods for logical operations.

This guide covers various methods available in the Boolean class. Each method is described in simple terms to help beginners understand how to use them. These methods enable you to perform operations like comparing boolean values, converting boolean values to strings, and performing logical operations.

For more detailed information, please refer to the official Java SE Documentation and additional resources on Java Wrapper Classes Tutorial.
