Constructor Detail

MutableBoolean

public MutableBoolean()
Constructs a new MutableBoolean with the default value of false.


MutableBoolean

public MutableBoolean(boolean value)
Constructs a new MutableBoolean with the specified value.

Parameters:
value - a value.

MutableBoolean

public MutableBoolean(Boolean value)
Constructs a new MutableBoolean with the specified value.

Parameters:
value - a value.
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the object is null
Method Detail

booleanValue

public boolean booleanValue()
Returns the value of this MutableBoolean as a boolean.

Returns:
the boolean value represented by this object.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object obj)
Compares this mutable to another in ascending order.

Specified by:
compareTo in interface Comparable
Parameters:
obj - the mutable to compare to
Returns:
zero if this object represents the same boolean value as the argument; a positive value if this object represents true and the argument represents false; and a negative value if this object represents false and the argument represents true
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the argument is not a MutableInt

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this object to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is an MutableBoolean object that contains the same boolean value as this object.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with.
Returns:
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

getValue

public Object getValue()
Gets the value as a Boolean instance.

Specified by:
getValue in interface Mutable
Returns:
the value as a Boolean

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a suitable hashcode for this mutable.

Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
Returns:
the integer 1231 if this object represents true; returns the integer 1237 if this object represents false.

setValue

public void setValue(boolean value)
Sets the value.

Parameters:
value - the value to set

setValue

public void setValue(Object value)
Sets the value from any Boolean instance.

Specified by:
setValue in interface Mutable
Parameters:
value - the value to set
Throws:
NullPointerException - if the object is null
ClassCastException - if the type is not a Boolean

toString

public String toString()
Returns the String value of this mutable.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
the mutable value as a string
