Objective-C - How to get sum of Boleans?

Question

Through the code below, I can get an output such as :
0
1
1

What I want is to output the sum of these boolea

You can just add BOOLs since bools are just integers. e.g. :

int sum = 0;

CLLocationCoordinate2D tg = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(location.latitude, location.longitude);
GMSCoordinateBounds *test = [[GMSCoordinateBounds alloc]initWithPath:path];
BOOL test3 = [test containsCoordinate:tg];
//Obtain bolean values :

BOOL testX = /* other test */;
BOOL testY = /* other test */;

sum = test3 + testX + testY

This is a bad idea however, as BOOLs aren't necessarily 1 or 0. They are 0 and not 0

BOOL is just a typedef-ed char: typedef signed char BOOL; YES and NO are 1 and 0, but BOOL variable = 2 is perfectly valid

For example:

- (int) testX
{
    if(inState1) return 1;
    if(inState2) return 2;

    else return 0;
}

BOOL textXResult = [self testX]; //Might return 2, this is still equivalent to YES.

The best solution is to iterate your BOOLs and instead count the number of YESes.
