Comparisons and Boolean logic
Values can be compared for equality using the ==
operator:
>> 3 == 3True
>> 3 == 4False
The special symbols True
and False
are used to denote truth values. Naturally, there are inequality comparisons as well:
>> 3 > 4False
Truth values can be negated using !
(logical not) and combined using &&
(logical and) and ||
(logical or):
>> !TrueFalse
>> !FalseTrue
>> 3 < 4 && 6 > 5True
&&
has higher precedence than ||
, i.e. it binds stronger:
>> True && True || False && FalseTrue
>> True && (True || False) && FalseFalse
