So?

Assuming:

  - 'b' is a bool
  - a bool can only have 2 values, 'true' and 'false'
  - when you convert/promote a bool to an int you get: 'true'->'1',  
'false'->'0'
  - when you convert/promote an int to bool you get: '0'->false,  
'!0'->'true'

Then:

if(b==1) { ... }

results in 'b' being converted to int, giving it the value 1, and the  
comparrison working correctly.

Right?
