Constructor Detail

BooleanUtils

public BooleanUtils()

BooleanUtils instances should NOT be constructed in standard programming. Instead, the class should be used as BooleanUtils.negate(true);.

This constructor is public to permit tools that require a JavaBean instance to operate.

   BooleanUtils.or(false, false)        = false
   BooleanUtils.or(true, false)         = true
   BooleanUtils.or(true, true, false)   = true
   BooleanUtils.or(true, true, true)    = true
   BooleanUtils.or(false, false, false) = false

Parameters:: array - an array of booleans
Returns:: true if the or is successful.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if array is null; IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty.
Since:: 3.0.1

or

public static Boolean or(Boolean... array)

Performs an or on an array of Booleans.

   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.TRUE)                  = Boolean.TRUE
   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.FALSE)                = Boolean.FALSE
   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.FALSE)                 = Boolean.TRUE
   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.TRUE)    = Boolean.TRUE
   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.TRUE)  = Boolean.TRUE
   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.TRUE)   = Boolean.TRUE
   BooleanUtils.or(Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.FALSE) = Boolean.FALSE

Parameters:: array - an array of Booleans
Returns:: true if the or is successful.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if array is null; IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty.; IllegalArgumentException - if array contains a null
Since:: 3.0.1

xor

public static boolean xor(boolean... array)

Performs an xor on a set of booleans.

   BooleanUtils.xor(true, true)   = false
   BooleanUtils.xor(false, false) = false
   BooleanUtils.xor(true, false)  = true
   BooleanUtils.xor(true, true)   = false
   BooleanUtils.xor(false, false) = false
   BooleanUtils.xor(true, false)  = true

Parameters:: array - an array of booleans
Returns:: true if the xor is successful.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if array is null; IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty.

xor

public static Boolean xor(Boolean... array)

Performs an xor on an array of Booleans.

   BooleanUtils.xor(new Boolean[] { Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.TRUE })   = Boolean.FALSE
   BooleanUtils.xor(new Boolean[] { Boolean.FALSE, Boolean.FALSE }) = Boolean.FALSE
   BooleanUtils.xor(new Boolean[] { Boolean.TRUE, Boolean.FALSE })  = Boolean.TRUE

Parameters:: array - an array of Booleans
Returns:: true if the xor is successful.
Throws:: IllegalArgumentException - if array is null; IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty.; IllegalArgumentException - if array contains a null
