Logical Operators
Operators
Logical operators allow you to do operations on elements according to the rules of Boolean algebra. If the
operators are applied to Boolean values, the operation provides the result required directly. If used in conjunction
with integer and long integer values, the operation is done at the bit level.
AND And operator
OR Or operator
XOR Exclusive Or operator
NOT Negation
EQV Equivalent test (both parts True or False)
IMP Implication (if the first expression is true, then the second must also be true)
Comparison Operators
Comparison operators can be applied to all elementary variable types (numbers, date details, strings, and Boolean
values).
= Equality of numbers, date values and strings
Inequality of numbers, date values and strings
> Greater than check for numbers, date values and strings
>= Greater than or equal to check for numbers, date values and strings
< Less than check for numbers, date values and strings
3 Then
B = 2
End If
The B = 2 assignment only occurs when value of variable A is greater than three. A variation of the If statement
is the If/Else clause:
If A > 3 Then
B = 2
Else
