Table A.7: Comparison operators.

Operator name	Function
==	equal
!=	not equal
<	less than
<=	less or equal
>	greater than
>=	greater or equal

The first two comparison operators (== and !=) are defined for Integer, Real, Complex, Quantity, String and Boolean. The other four operators are only defined for Integer, Real, Real Quantity, String, and Boolean, but not for Complex.

(5 == 3)                   // -> false
(5 > 3) && (5 > 2)         // -> true
(5 < 3)                    // -> false
("MINIMOS" < "MINIMOS-NT") // -> true
