== (numeric equality)

Availability

Flash Lite 1.0.

Usage

expression1 == expression2

Operands

expression1, expression2 Numbers, Boolean values, or variables.

Description

Operator (comparison); tests for equality; the exact opposite of the <> operator. If expression1 is equal to expression2, the result is true. As with the <> operator, the definition of equal depends on the data types being compared:

• Numbers and Boolean values are compared by value.
• Variables are compared by reference.

Example

The following examples show true and false return values:

trees = 7;
bushes = "7";
shrubs = "seven";

trace (trees == "7");        // output: 1(true)
trace (trees == bushes);        // output: 1(true)
trace (trees == shrubs);        // output: 0(false)
