# std::boolalpha, std::noboolalpha

< cpp‎ | io‎ | manip

Defined in header `<ios>` |  |
std::ios_base & boolalpha( std::ios_base & str ); | (1) |
std::ios_base & noboolalpha( std::ios_base & str ); | (2) |

1) Enables the `boolalpha` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.setf( std::ios_base::boolalpha )
2) Disables the `boolalpha` flag in the stream `str` as if by calling str.unsetf( std::ios_base::boolalpha )

`std::boolalpha` is an I/O manipulator, so it may be called with an expression such as out << std::boolalpha for any `out` of type std::basic_ostream or with an expression such as in >> std::boolalpha for any `in` of type std::basic_istream.

### Parameters

str | - | reference to I/O stream

### Return value

`str` (reference to the stream after manipulation)

### Example

Run this code

    #include <sstream>
    #include <locale>
    #include <iostream>
    int main()
    {
        // boolalpha output
        std::cout << std::boolalpha
                  << "boolalpha true: " << true << '\n'
                  << "boolalpha false: " << false << '\n';
        std::cout << std::noboolalpha
                  << "noboolalpha true: " << true << '\n'
                  << "noboolalpha false: " << false << '\n';
        // boolalpha parse
        bool b1, b2;
        std::istringstream is("true false");
        is >> std::boolalpha >> b1 >> b2;
        std::cout << '\"' << is.str() << "\" parsed as " << b1 << ' ' << b2 << '\n';
    }

Output:

    boolalpha true: true
    boolalpha false: false
    noboolalpha true: 1
    noboolalpha false: 0
    "true false" parsed as 1 0
