How can I add a boolean value to a NSDictionary?

Viewed 77459

Well, for integers I would use NSNumber. But YES and NO aren't objects, I guess. A.f.a.i.k. I can only add objects to an NSDictionary, right?

I couldn't find any wrapper class for booleans. Is there any?

You use NSNumber.

It has init... and number... methods that take booleans, just as it does integers and so on.

From the NSNumber class reference:

// Creates and returns an NSNumber object containing a 
// given value, treating it as a BOOL.
+ (NSNumber *)numberWithBool:(BOOL)value

and:

// Returns an NSNumber object initialized to contain a
// given value, treated as a BOOL.
- (id)initWithBool:(BOOL)value

and:

// Returns the receiver’s value as a BOOL.
- (BOOL)boolValue
