How can I add a boolean value to a NSDictionary?
You use NSNumber.
It has init... and number... methods that take booleans, just as it does integers and so on.
From the NSNumber class reference:
// Creates and returns an NSNumber object containing a // given value, treating it as a BOOL.+ (NSNumber *)numberWithBool:(BOOL)value
and:
// Returns an NSNumber object initialized to contain a// given value, treated as a BOOL.- (id)initWithBool:(BOOL)value
and:
// Returns the receiver’s value as a BOOL.- (BOOL)boolValue
The new syntax since Apple LLVM Compiler 4.0
dictionary[@"key1"] = @(boolValue);dictionary[@"key2"] = @YES;
The syntax converts BOOL
to NSNumber
, which is acceptable to NSDictionary
.
If you are declaring it as a literal and you are using clang v3.1 or above, you should use @NO / @YES if you are declaring it as a literal. E.g.
NSMutableDictionary* foo = [@{ @"key": @NO } mutableCopy];foo[@"bar"] = @YES;
