String Operators
For less than and greater than operations, the string is evaluated in ASCII order. For
example, the comparison “ABC” > “ABD” would be false. The system looks
character by character; the first two characters are identical in both strings, and when
it evaluated the characters C (ASCII 67) vs. D (ASCII 68), the result is false. The
comparison “ABC”<“ABCD” is true because a shorter string alphabetically precedes
one that is identical but longer.
OPERATOR NAME EXAMPLE EXPLANATION
= Assignment* A$ = B$ Assigns the value in B$ to A$.
*NOTE: Not allowed in expressions because of possible confusion with comparison.
= Comparison A$ = B$ A$ equal B$
<> Not Equal To A$ <> B$ A$ is not equal to B$
< Less Than A$ < B$ A$ is less than B$
> Greater Than A$ > B$ A$ is greater than B$
