Converting string to bool
-
you misunderstood me. I meant what is contained within that string ? 1/0 ? true/false ? checked/unchecked ? white/black ?

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

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

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.

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.

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 bVal = (temp == "true"?true:false);

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")
