Design the language so that 0 is false and non-zero is true. There is no need to "convert" anything, and thinking "non-zero" instead of some specific value will help you write the code properly.

If you have built-in symbols like "True" then go ahead and pick a value, but always think "non-zero is true" instead of "0x01 is true".
