# Comparison operators

Comparison operators work with boolean and integer values.

* Equality: `==`, for booleans and integers

  Both sides of the equality operator may be optional, even of different levels, so it is for example possible to compare a non-optional with a double-optional (`??`).

  ```
    1 == 1  // is `true`

    1 == 2  // is `false`
  ```

  ```
    true == true  // is `true`

    true == false  // is `false`
  ```

  ```
    let x: Int? = 1
    x == nil  // is `false`
  ```

  ```
    let x: Int = 1
    x == nil  // is `false`
  ```

  ```
    // Comparisons of different levels of optionals are possible.
    let x: Int? = 2
    let y: Int?? = nil
    x == y  // is `false`
  ```

  ```
    // Comparisons of different levels of optionals are possible.
    let x: Int? = 2
    let y: Int?? = 2
    x == y  // is `true`
  ```
* Inequality: `!=`, for booleans and integers (possibly optional)

  Both sides of the inequality operator may be optional, even of different levels, so it is for example possible to compare a non-optional with a double-optional (`??`).

  ```
    1 != 1  // is `false`

    1 != 2  // is `true`
  ```

  ```
    true != true  // is `false`

    true != false  // is `true`
  ```

  ```
    let x: Int? = 1
    x != nil  // is `true`
  ```

  ```
    let x: Int = 1
    x != nil  // is `true`
  ```

  ```
    // Comparisons of different levels of optionals are possible.
    let x: Int? = 2
    let y: Int?? = nil
    x != y  // is `true`
  ```

  ```
    // Comparisons of different levels of optionals are possible.
    let x: Int? = 2
    let y: Int?? = 2
    x != y  // is `false`
  ```
* Less than: `<`, for integers

  ```
    1 < 1  // is `false`

    1 < 2  // is `true`

    2 < 1  // is `false`
  ```
* Less or equal than: `<=`, for integers

  ```
    1 <= 1  // is `true`

    1 <= 2  // is `true`

    2 <= 1  // is `false`
  ```
* Greater than: `>`, for integers

  ```
    1 > 1  // is `false`

    1 > 2  // is `false`

    2 > 1  // is `true`
  ```
* Greater or equal than: `>=`, for integers

  ```
    1 >= 1  // is `true`

    1 >= 2  // is `false`

    2 >= 1  // is `true`
  ```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://max-daunarovich.gitbook.io/flow-network/introduction/operators/comparison-operators.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
