Casting Y or N to bool C#

Question

Just for neatness sake I was wondering, whether it\'s possible to cast Y or N to a bool? Something like this;

bool theanswer = Convert.ToBoolean(input);
         


        

Answer 1

how about this.

bool theanswer = input.Equals("Y", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

or yet safer version.

bool theanswer = "Y".Equals(input, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
