eq Function

Performs an equality test. The function can take multiple arguments, although typically it has only two. The data type of the first argument defines how the equality test is performed. If the first argument is of type:

• string– all subsequent arguments are coerced to strings, and string comparison is performed

• integer– all subsequent arguments are coerced to integers, and numeric comparison is performed

• object– all subsequent arguments must be of type object, and the value of Object.equals is true for each

This function returns:

0– statement is logically false

1– statement is logically true

Example

<eq> <ref>role</ref> <s>engineering</s> </eq>
