Comparison Operators
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
Comparing most values of the same data type work out-of-the-box for all [standard types] supported by the system.
|
|
|
|
However, if using a [raw `Engine`] without loading any [packages], comparisons can only be made between a limited
|
|
set of types (see [built-in operators]).
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
42 == 42; // true
|
|
|
|
42 > 42; // false
|
|
|
|
"hello" > "foo"; // true
|
|
|
|
"42" == 42; // false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Comparing two values of _different_ data types, or of unknown data types, always results in `false`,
|
|
except for '`!=`' (not equals) which results in `true`. This is in line with intuition.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
42 == 42.0; // false - i64 cannot be compared with f64
|
|
|
|
42 != 42.0; // true - i64 cannot be compared with f64
|
|
|
|
42 > "42"; // false - i64 cannot be compared with string
|
|
|
|
42 <= "42"; // false - i64 cannot be compared with string
|
|
|
|
let ts = new_ts(); // custom type
|
|
|
|
ts == 42; // false - types cannot be compared
|
|
|
|
ts != 42; // true - types cannot be compared
|
|
```

Boolean operators
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
| Operator | Description |
|
|
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------- |
|
|
| `!` | Boolean _Not_ |
|
|
| `&&` | Boolean _And_ (short-circuits) |
|
|
| <code>\|\|</code> | Boolean _Or_ (short-circuits) |
|
|
| `&` | Boolean _And_ (doesn't short-circuit) |
|
|
| <code>\|</code> | Boolean _Or_ (doesn't short-circuit) |
|
|
|
|
Double boolean operators `&&` and `||` _short-circuit_, meaning that the second operand will not be evaluated
|
|
if the first one already proves the condition wrong.
|
|
|
|
Single boolean operators `&` and `|` always evaluate both operands.
|
|
|
|
```rust
|
|
a() || b(); // b() is not evaluated if a() is true
|
|
|
|
a() && b(); // b() is not evaluated if a() is false
|
|
|
|
a() | b(); // both a() and b() are evaluated
|
|
|
|
a() & b(); // both a() and b() are evaluated
|
|
```
