OPERATORS

The operators that take class identifier values as operands are & , = , ≠ , and As.

The operator As takes a value of one class and coerces it to a value of a class specified by a class identifier. For example, the following statement coerces a string into the corresponding real number, 1.5 :



 
"1.5" as real --result: 1.5

For more information about coercing values, see Expressions.

COERCIONS SUPPORTED

AppleScript supports coercion of a class identifier to a single-item list.
