Bool to String

[anuj71]

Can we do like this?

bool takeprofit = TRUE;
Print(booltostring(takeprofit));

Output should be :

TRUE

Output should be :

why don't you just try it...

I tried and not working. That is the reason behind i am asking here. Is it possible to convert bool to string?

string result = flag ? "true" : "false";

Did the compiler not throw and error for your code? It should have!

Please learn to reference the online Book and Documentation

bool   bTakeProfit = true;                 // it is "true" and not "TRUE"
string sTakeProfit = (string) bTakeProfit; // explicit typecasting to a string

// The following will all output "true" ...
   Print(          bTakeProfit ); // Method 1 ... implicit typecasting 
   Print( (string) bTakeProfit ); // Method 2 ... explicit typecasting to a string
   Print(          sTakeProfit ); // Method 3 ... variable is already a string

string result = (string) flag; // simplified - explicit typecasting to a string

 bool my_var = true;
  Print("my_var: " + my_var);

For me, it giving values like 0 and 1. 0 For false and 1 for True. 

Fernando Carreiro #:
string result = (string) flag; // simplified - explicit typecasting to a string

bool takeprofit = FALSE;    
Comment(
        "\n ::  bool     :", takeprofit,
        "\n ::  Bool string    :", (string) takeprofit,
        "\n ::  -------------------------------"
    );

Both returning values 0 not "FALSE".

read the answers carefully. was already said that is 'true' not 'TRUE'.

bool takeprofit = true;    
Comment(
        "\n ::  bool     :", takeprofit,
        "\n ::  Bool string    :", (string) takeprofit,
        "\n ::  -------------------------------"
    );

This still return value 1 instead of word/string "true"
