### Comparison operators

The comparison operators are equal (=), not equal (<>), less than (<), less than or equal (<=), greater than (>) and greater than or equal (>=).

Comparison operators are usually used to compare operands for a condition in a control structure such as an If expression. Comparison operators as a group all have lower precedence than the arithmetic operators. Thus, expressions like 2 + 3 < 2 * 9 are the same as (2 + 3) < (2*9).

### Boolean operators

The Boolean operators are, in order of precedence from greatest to lowest: Not, And, Or, Xor, Eqv and Imp. Boolean operators are typically used with comparison operators to generate conditions for control structures. Boolean operators as a group have lower precedence than the comparison operators. Thus for example, the expression 2 < 3 And 4 >= -1 is the same as (2 < 3) And (4 >= -1).
