BooleanLiteralConvertible

A type that can be initialized with the Boolean literals true and false.

Only three types provided by Swift---Bool, DarwinBoolean, and ObjCBool---are treated as Boolean values. Expanding this set to include types that represent more than simple Boolean values is discouraged.

To add BooleanLiteralConvertible conformance to your custom type, implement the init(booleanLiteral:) initializer that creates an instance of your type with the given Boolean value.

Initializers

init(booleanLiteral:) Required

Creates an instance initialized to the given Boolean value.

Do not call this initializer directly. Instead, initialize a variable or constant using one of the Boolean literals true and false. For example:

  • let twasBrillig = true

In this example, the assignments to the twasBrillig constant calls this Boolean literal initializer behind the scenes.

value: The value of the new instance.
