Equality and inequality operators
In Lua, you can compare two variables to see if they are equal using the == equality operator. For instance:
-- single = to assign values to variables
local Variable1 = "Fred"
local Variable2 = "Mary"
local Variable3 = "Fred"
if (Variable1 == Variable3) then
trace("These variables are equal!")
end
Below are the comparison operators you can apply to compare variables:
== Equal to
~= Not equal to
< Less than
> Greater than
<= Lesser or equal to
>= Greater or equal to
See if statements for a simple example of applying these comparison operators.
