Switch syntax
Functions for working with boolean values.
Booleans in OCaml / Reason are represented by the
true
and false
literals.Whilst a bool isnt a variant, you will get warnings if you haven't exhaustively pattern match on them:
let bool = false;let string =switch (bool) {| false => "false"};/*Warning 8: this pattern-matching is not exhaustive.Here is an example of a case that is not matched:true*/

Basic operations
🔗
let (&&):
bool -> bool -> bool
The lazy logical AND operator.
Returns
true
if both of its operands evaluate to true
.If the 'left' operand evaluates to
false
, the 'right' operand is not evaluated.Examples
Bool.(true && true) == true;
Bool.(true && false) == false;
Bool.(false && true) == false;
Bool.(false && false) == false;
🔗
let (||):
bool -> bool -> bool
The lazy logical OR operator.
Returns
true
if one of its operands evaluates to true
.If the 'left' operand evaluates to
true
, the 'right' operand is not evaluated.Examples
Bool.(true || true) == true;
Bool.(true || false) == true;
Bool.(false || true) == true;
Bool.(false || false) == false;
🔗
let xor:
bool -> bool -> bool
The exclusive or operator.
Returns
true
if exactly one of its operands is true
.Examples
Bool.xor(true, true) == false;
Bool.xor(true, false) == true;
Bool.xor(false, true) == true;
Bool.xor(false, false) == false;
🔗
let not:
Bool.t -> bool
Negate a
bool
.Examples
Bool.(!)(false) == true;
Bool.(!)(true) == false;
