<description><![CDATA[
Converts an <b>int</b> or <b>String</b> to its boolean representation.  For an <b>int</b>, any non-zero value (positive or negative) evaluates to true, while zero evaluates to false. For a <b>String</b>, the value <b>"true"</b> evaluates to true, while any other value (including <b>"false"</b> or <b>"hippopotamus"</b>) evaluates to false.<br />
<br />
When an array of <b>int</b> or <b>String</b> values is passed in, then a <b>boolean</b> array of the same length is returned.
