In Swift, NSNumber(booleanLiteral: true) is a way to create an NSNumber object that represents a boolean value. However, in Swift, you can use a more straightforward syntax to represent boolean values directly using Swift's native Bool type. For example, you can simply use true or false as boolean literals.
If you are working with Swift and need to use NSNumber for compatibility with Objective-C APIs, you can create an NSNumber from a Bool like this:
let number = NSNumber(value: true)
This approach is more idiomatic in Swift when you need to bridge between Swift and Objective-C.
