- Method Detail
  - public boolean any()
    
    Iterates over the contents of a boolean Array, and checks whether any element is true.
```
 boolean[] array1 = [false, true]
 assert array1.any()
 boolean[] array2 = [false]
 assert !array2.any()
 
```
    Returns:
    true if any boolean is true
    Since:

  - public boolean any(Closure<?> predicate)
    
    Iterates over the contents of a boolean Array, and checks whether a predicate is valid for at least one element.
```
 boolean[] array = [true]
 assert array.any{ it }
 assert !array.any{ !it }
 
```
    Parameters:
    predicate - the closure predicate used for matching
    Returns:
    true if any iteration for the booleans matches the closure predicate
    Since:
    5.0.0
  - public boolean asBoolean()
    
    Coerces a boolean array to a boolean value. A boolean array is false if the array is of length 0, and true otherwise.
    Returns:
    the array's boolean value
    Since:
    1.7.4
  - public List<List<Boolean>> chop(int chopSizes)
    
    Chops the boolean array into pieces, returning lists with sizes corresponding to the supplied chop sizes. If the array isn't large enough, truncated (possibly empty) pieces are returned. Using a chop size of -1 will cause that piece to contain all remaining items from the array.
```
 boolean[] array = [false, true, false]
 assert array.chop(1, 2) == [[false], [true, false]]
 
```
    Parameters:
    chopSizes - the sizes for the returned pieces

    Since:
    1.8.6
  - public Number count(Object value)
    
    Counts the number of occurrences of the given value inside this array. Comparison is done using Groovy's == operator (using compareTo(value) == 0).

 boolean[] array = [false, true, true]
 assert array.count(true) == 2
 
```
