Example

The following example demonstrates converting float values to bool values.

C# Example
using System;
class ConvertBoolTest {
    static public void Main() {
        float float0 = 0.0f;
        float float1 = 1.0f; 
        float float2 = -2.0f;
        bool bool0 = Convert.ToBoolean(float0);
        bool bool1 = Convert.ToBoolean(float1);
        bool bool2 = Convert.ToBoolean(float2);
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as bool = {1}",float0,bool0);
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as bool = {1}",float1,bool1);
        Console.WriteLine("(float) {0} as bool = {1}",float2,bool2);
    }
}

The output is

(float) 0 as bool = False
(float) 1 as bool = True
(float) -2 as bool = True
