Name: EQ

Section: Arithmetic Operators

Synopsis:

<eq ARG1 ARG2

Description:

Returns "true" if the numeric value of ARG1 is exactly equal to the numeric value of ARG2. Just as with the arithmetic functions (Arithmetic Operators), the arguments may be the names of variables containing numeric values, and not just the values themselves. In that case, eq performs an implicit call to <get-var-once ...> in order to get the value to operate on.

Examples:

<eq 3 4>              ==> 
<eq 3 3>              ==> true
<eq 3.0 3>            ==> true
<set-var x=3.01>
<eq <get-var-once x> 3.01> ==> true
