A logical operator compares two operands or expressions and produces a true or false condition. There are two types of logical operators: conditional and Boolean. Conditional operators compare two values or expressions. Boolean operators connect string, numeric, or logical expressions together to determine true-false logic. Operators may be combined to create complex operators.

Conditional Operators = Equal sign

<; Less than
> Greater than
Boolean Operators NOT Boolean (logical) NOT
~ Tilde (logical NOT)
AND Boolean AND
OR Boolean OR
XOR Boolean eXclusive OR
Combined operators <;> Not equal
~= Not equal
NOT = Not equal
<;= Less than or equal to
=<; Less than or equal to
~> Not greater than
NOT > Not greater than
>= Greater than or equal to
Greater than or equal to
~<; Not less than
NOT <; Not less than

During logical evaluation, any non-zero numeric value or non-blank string value indicates a true condition, and a null (blank) string or zero numeric value indicates a false condition.

Example:

Logical Expression             Result

A = B                          True when A is equal to B

A <; B                          True when A is less than B

A > B                          True when A is greater than B

A <;> B, A ~= B, A NOT = B      True when A is not equal to B

A ~<; B, A >= B, A NOT <; B      True when A is not less than B

A ~> B, A <;= B, A NOT > B      True when A is not greater than B

~ A, NOT A                     True when A is null or zero

A AND B                        True when A is true and B is true

A OR B                         True when A is true, or B is true, or both are true

A XOR B                        True when A is true or B is true, but not both.
