BOOL issue in Objective-C -

when i'm trying bool dictionary, get:

bool istrue = [somedict objectforkey: @"istrue"]; 

i get:

initialization makes integer pointer without cast 

i set dictionary doing this:

self.somedict = [[nsmutabledictionary alloc]     initwithobjectsandkeys:         self.istrue, @"istrue",         nil]; 

any ideas?

use:

bool istrue = [[somedict objectforkey:@"istrue"] boolvalue]; 

the way store bool in nsdictionary box in nsnumber object. bool primitive, , dictionary holds objects.

similarly, store bool in dictionary, use:

[somedict setobject:[nsnumber numberwithbool:istrue] forkey:@"istrue"]; 

edit: (in response comment)

there 2 ways of representing @property. 1 declare ivar bool, , other declare nsnumber.

for first case, ivar is: bool istrue;, , property @property bool istrue; (i'm ignoring naming conventions, obviously).

for nsnumber, ivar is: nsnumber * istrue; , property @property (nonatomic, retain) nsnumber * istrue;. if go route, might want provide second setter method (setistruebool or something) allows pass in yes or no, , boxing yourself. otherwise calls have boxing themselves.

i'd go option #1, depends on class's purpose was.
