method::xor
|
|
|
|
returns:: the exclusive or of the receiver and another Boolean.
|
|
|
|
method::and
|

If the receiver is true then answer the evaluation of function.
|
|
If the receiver is false then function is not evaluated and the message answers false.
|
|
|
|
method::or
|
|
|
|
If the receiver is false then answer the evaluation of function.
|
|
If the receiver is true then function is not evaluated and the message answers true.
|
|
|

method::&&
|
|
|
|
returns:: true if the receiver is true and aBoolean is true.

|
|
method::binaryValue
|
|
|
|
returns:: 1 if the receiver is true, and 0 if the receiver is false.
|
|
|
|
method::asBoolean
|
|
method::booleanValue
|
