Verb ==
Syntax expression1 == expression2
expression1 equals expression2
Action The equality operator yields the boolean value true if the value of expression1 and the value of expression2 are the same.
Examples file.type ("myFile") equals 'TEXT'
» true
This expression evaluates to true if file.type returns ‘TEXT’ as its result.
27 == "27"
» true
When coerced to be of the same type, the two representations of the number 27 are equal, and the result of the operation is true.
Notes • There is no difference between the two forms, == and equals.
• UserTalk employs automatic type coercion when evaluating arithmetic and comparative operations; the two expressions need not be of the same type for their values to be “equal.”
