Converts a string representation of a boolean value to a boolean type.This function takes a string input and checks if it represents a boolean value. It recognizes "true", "1", and their case-insensitive variants as true. Any other string will be interpreted as false.

Parameters

str	The string to convert to a boolean. Can be "true", "false", "1", "0", etc.

Returns

true if the input string represents a true value; false otherwise.

Note

This function is case-insensitive and will convert the input string to lowercase before comparison.

bool result1 = stringToBool("True"); // result1 is true bool result2 = stringToBool("false"); // result2 is false bool result3 = stringToBool("1"); // result3 is true bool result4 = stringToBool("0"); // result4 is false
