Scala: Elegant conversion of a string into a boolean?

Ah, I am silly. The answer is myString. ToBoolean .

Note: Don't write new Boolean(myString) in Java - always use Boolean. ValueOf(myString). Using the new variant unnecessarily creates a Boolean object; using the valueOf variant doesn't do this.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
