how to store int data type in bool?

Question

i want to read a file which consists of 1's and 0's in each line, how do can i store a false in any bool variable after reading 0 from the file.

language c++

Answer 1

bool b = (variableFromFile != 0);

Answer 2

Just read into a boolean variable:

bool b;
file >> b;

where file is your input file stream. 1's will be converted to true, 0's to false.

If you have read into a string, the obvious way to do the conversion is to look at the first character:

string s = .... // populate
bool b = s[0] != '0';

but I can't see why you would read into a string if what you really want is a bool.

Answer 3

read from file and assign to bool variable it should work.
