# reinterpretBoolean
> Reinterpret a boolean [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] as an unsigned 8-bit integer [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor].
## Usage
```javascript
var reinterpretBoolean = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/reinterpret-boolean' );
```
#### reinterpretBoolean( x )
Reinterprets a boolean [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] as an unsigned 8-bit integer [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor].
```javascript
var falses = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/falses' );
var x = falses( 'bool', [ 2, 2 ], 'row-major' );
// returns [ [ false, false ], [ false, false ] ]
var out = reinterpretBoolean( x );
// returns [ [ 0, 0 ], [ 0, 0 ] ]
```
## Notes
- The returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] is a view on the input [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] data buffer.
- The returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] is a "base" [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor], and, thus, the returned [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor] does not perform bounds checking or afford any of the guarantees of the non-base [ndarray][@stdlib/ndarray/ctor] constructor. The primary intent of this function is to reinterpret an ndarray-like object within internal implementations and to do so with minimal overhead.
## Examples
```javascript
var bernoulli = require( '@stdlib/random/array/bernoulli' );
var BooleanArray = require( '@stdlib/array/bool' );
var ndarray = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/ctor' );
var ndarray2array = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/to-array' );
var reinterpretBoolean = require( '@stdlib/ndarray/base/reinterpret-boolean' );
// Create a boolean ndarray:
var buf = new BooleanArray( bernoulli( 4, 0.5 ) );
var x = ndarray( 'bool', buf, [ 2, 2 ], [ 2, 1 ], 0, 'row-major' );
// Reinterpret as an unsigned 8-bit integer ndarray:
var out = reinterpretBoolean( x );
console.log( ndarray2array( out ) );
