```csharp
public static implicit operator bool(Object exists)
```

### Parameters

**** (\[Object]\(/engine/6000.0/script-reference/unityengine/object)): 

### Returns

| Type                                                          | Description |

### Remarks

The three examples below give the same result.

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    // check if there is a rigidbody attached to this transform
    void Start()
    {
        if (GetComponent<Rigidbody>() == true)
        {
            Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");
        }
    }
}
```

...is the same as this...

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    // check if there is a rigidbody attached to this transform
    void Start()
    {
        if (GetComponent<Rigidbody>())
        {
            Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");
        }
    }
}
```

...which is also the same as this...

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    // check if there is a rigidbody attached to this transform
    void Start()
    {
        if (GetComponent<Rigidbody>() != null)
        {
            Debug.Log("Rigidbody attached to this transform");
        }
    }
}
```
