Hi,
I just tried the following snippet in the try-it of jaggery page and it
gives me the expected output.
var test = "true";
var bool_convert = Boolean(test);
print(bool_convert); //true
-------------
var test = "false";
var bool_convert = Boolean(test);
print(bool_convert); //true
---------------
var test = "";
var bool_convert = Boolean(test);
print(bool_convert); //false
Thanks,
Tanya
