Converting boolean to int since 0116
Oct 3^rd, 2006, 9:36am

Hello,

I have a program that's been using the Processing function int() to convert a boolean value to an integer (false=0, true=1).

Since the 0116 update, this code:

boolean b = true;
int a = int(b);

throws the following error:
Semantic Error: No applicable overload for a method with signature "parseInt(boolean)" was found in type "processing.core.PApplet". Perhaps you wanted the overloaded version "int parseInt(byte $1);" instead?

I tried int(byte(b)) as well, but got a similar error concerning parseByte(). Is there another function that will convert boolean to int?

Thanks for any help.

For the record though, fry, the Processing reference still lists the int() function as accepting a boolean argument in 116+. (http://processing.org/reference/int_.html)
