The Push to Ban Ransom Payments Is Gaining Momentum
Ransomware costs victims an estimated $30 billion per year and has gotten so out of control that global support for banning payments is gaining momentum.

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Boolean constructor.
npm install @stdlib/boolean-ctor
var Boolean = require( '@stdlib/boolean-ctor' );
Returns a Boolean
object, which is an object wrapper for a primitive boolean value.
var b = new Boolean( null );
// returns <Boolean>
When invoked without new
, the function converts an input value to a primitive boolean value.
var b = Boolean( null );
// returns false
Returns a string representation of the boolean value.
var b = new Boolean( true );
var str = b.toString();
// returns 'true'
Returns the primitive value of the boolean object.
var b = new Boolean( true );
var val = b.valueOf();
// returns true
b = new Boolean();
val = b.valueOf();
// returns false
When invoked without new
,
false
, null
, undefined
, -0
, 0
, NaN
, or an empty string, the function returns false
.'false'
, or a Boolean
object (including a Boolean
object whose value is false
), the function returns true
.When invoked with new
, the value of the returned Boolean
object adheres to the same conversion semantics as when the constructor is invoked without new
.
var format = require( '@stdlib/string-format' );
var Bool = require( '@stdlib/boolean-ctor' );
var values = [
'5',
5,
0,
NaN,
true,
false,
null,
void 0,
[],
{}
];
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < values.length; i++ ) {
console.log( format( '%s => %s', JSON.stringify( values[ i ] ), ( Bool( values[ i ] ) ) ? 'true' : 'false' ) );
}
This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
