Description
The = (Equality) Operator evaluates two expressions,
compares them for equality and returns the resulting condition. The condition is
false (0) if the left-hand side expression and the right-hand side expression
are unequal, or true (1) if they are equal.
Example
Equality comparisons should not be confused
with
Assignments, both of which also use the
"=" symbol:
i = 420
''
assignment: assign the value of i as 420
IF( i = 69 ) THEN '' equation: compare the equality of the value of i and
69
PRINT
"serious error: i should equal 420"
END
ENDIF
...
The
<> (Inequality) Operator is complement to
the = (Equality) Operator, and is functionally identical when combined with the
NOT (Bit-wise Complement) Operator:
IF(
420 = 420 )
THEN PRINT "( 420
= 420 ) is true."
IF NOT( 69 <>
69 ) THEN
PRINT "not( 69 <> 69 ) is
true."
