Need help converting variable types

[Little Bear]

How can I convert a Boolean to an integer in C#, and vise versa? More preferably compare them in a numerical way?

boolean is a logical variable with only two posibilities: true / false or 1 / 0

 

let's say your boolean variable is A

and B is where you store them in integer

 

you can do a

if A=true then B=1
else B=0

this ^ is pseudocode

How would I get this to work                

 

if(currentAvailableMemory / 1024 << 1)
                {
                    string AvailableMemoryVocalMessage = String.Format("The current available memory in megabytes is: {0}", currentAvailableMemory);
                    synth.Speak(AvailableMemoryVocalMessage);
                }
                else
                {
                    string AvailableMemoryVocalMessage = String.Format("The current available memory in gigabytes is: {0}", currentAvailableMemory / 1024);
                    synth.Speak(AvailableMemoryVocalMessage);
                }

This:

if(currentAvailableMemory / 1024 << 1)

Will always execute unless it's 0.

its converting currentAvailableMemory to gigabytes, and seeing if it is 1 or over, because currentAvailableMemory is by default scaled in megabytes.

figured it out myself :3

It's nice to include the answer for anyone who might find it useful or in case there are better ways of achieving what you want that someone can tell you.

 

For reference, here are 3 ways I can think of at the moment that does it.

bool b = true;

// Option 1 - Convert class
int i = Convert.ToInt32(b);

// Option 2 - if else
int j;
if (b)
{
    j = 1;
}
else
{
    j = 0;
}

// Option 3 - ternary operator
int k = b ? 1 : 0;

I would avoid option 2 as it's needlessly verbose no matter how you format it, but it's up to you and your preference.
