Converting string to bool
-
I am getting a string from map that can be either true or false. Is there any function or some alternative to convert this string into bool. So that I can store it in a bool variable.
string temp;
temp=MyMap.find("Check")->second; // give either true or falseI want to convert temp to bool. THANKS.

bool bChecked = false;
if (temp == "true")
bChecked = true;:~. You have to check for the case also but you got the idea.

what kind of strings are supposed to be stored in
MyMap.find("Check")->second? I mean, you'll have to test programmatically the string to assign another boolean variable to true or false...[VisualCalc][Binary Guide][CommDialogs] | [Forums Guidelines]

what about
bool f = temp == "true";

From his snippet of code, I would say std::string.

Charting control [v1.4]you misunderstood me. I meant what is contained within that string ? 1/0 ? true/false ? checked/unchecked ? white/black ?

Thanks for the reply. This can be done. But instead I am looking for some function that does this like atoi() or itoa() for string to int and vice versa. Is there any function for strings to bool.
please reply to this question[^] first before we can reply to you efficiently

true/false :) (well, that what he said in his post)

Why ? That's quite simple, why do you want to use an existing function for that ?

Not as far as I know.

Good news: it exists, is
atob. The bad news is that you have to code it (anyway you got so many hints about). :-DIf the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.

why do you need the ?: operator ? the std::string::operator==() already returns a bool. in the same direction, why wouldn't you write this then :
bool bVal = ((temp == "true") == true ? true : false)
or
bool bVal = (((temp == "true") == true) == true ? true : false)
or just
bool bVal = (temp == "true")
