use:

 java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
boolean b;
int iSomeValue;
 
b=true;
if(iSomeValue==0)b=false;
boolean b;
int iSomeValue;

b=true;
if(iSomeValue==0)b=false;

or use function

boolean intToBool(int iVal)
{
 boolean b=true;
 if(iVal==0)b=false;
 return b;
}
boolean intToBool(int iVal)
{
 boolean b=true;
 if(iVal==0)b=false;
 return b;
}

That is a lot more code than is needed. The conversion only needs the evaluation of intVal!=0, so the function reduces to

 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
boolean intToBool(int value){
  return (value != 0);
}
boolean intToBool(int value){
  return (value != 0);
}

Thanks for the help, by th way i used ezzral's method it was quick and simple, i also found out i could've just started with a boolean by setting random generator class to boolean type.
