Convert boolean result into number/integer

Question

I have a variable that stores false or true, but I need 0 or 1 instead, respectively. How can I do this?

Answer 1

I prefer to use the Number function. It takes an object and converts it to a number.

Example:

var myFalseBool = false;
var myTrueBool = true;

var myFalseInt = Number(myFalseBool);
console.log(myFalseInt === 0);

var myTrueInt = Number(myTrueBool);
console.log(myTrueInt === 1);

You can test it in a jsFiddle.
