# OSLogInt32ExtendedFormat.answer

A format that displays a 32-bit integer as yes or no.

```
case answer
```

## Discussion

Use this option to format the interpolated value as either `YES` or `NO`. The formatter converts all positive and negative nonzero values to `YES`, and only zero to `NO`. The following example applies the answer formatter to the 32-bit integer value `0`:

```swift
// Create a logger with the specified subsystem and category.
let logger = Logger(subsystem: "com.example.OSLogValueFormatting",
                    category: "Formatter Output")
                
// Assign the value to interpolate.
let value: Int32 = 0
                
// Write the value to the log using the specified format.
logger.info(".answer output is \(value, format: .answer)")
```

And the system writes the following message to the log:

```
[Formatter Output] .answer output is NO
```
