✐ Examples

1 Converting a set of Boolean values to a BooleanArray

Using toBooleanArray() to convert a set of Boolean values to a BooleanArray.

For example,

  1. Create a set of Boolean values.
  2. Use toBooleanArray() to convert the set to a BooleanArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val booleanSet = setOf(true, false, true)
    val booleanArray = booleanSet.toBooleanArray()
    println(booleanArray.joinToString())
}

Output

true, false, true

2 Handling an empty set of Boolean values

Using toBooleanArray() to handle an empty set of Boolean values.

For example,

  1. Create an empty set of Boolean values.
  2. Use toBooleanArray() to convert the empty set to a BooleanArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.

Kotlin Program

fun main() {
    val emptySet = emptySet<Boolean>()
    val booleanArray = emptySet.toBooleanArray()
    println(booleanArray.joinToString())
}

Output


3  Converting a set of mixed Boolean values to a BooleanArray
Using toBooleanArray() to convert a set of mixed Boolean values to a BooleanArray.
For example,
  1. Create a set of mixed Boolean values.
  2. Use toBooleanArray() to convert the set to a BooleanArray.
  3. Print the resulting array.
Kotlin Program
fun main() {
    val mixedSet = setOf(true, false, true, false)
    val booleanArray = mixedSet.toBooleanArray()
    println(booleanArray.joinToString())
}
Output
true, false, true, false
