Comparing
Type of comparison
A variable's data type determines the type of comparison performed in a condition involving the
variable. This is important because comparison semantics for numbers, strings and dates are
very different.

Value used for comparison
When used in a condition, the variable's value is obtained in two steps:
• First the text representation of the variable is formatted as usual (see formatting); this allows
influencing the value in interesting ways, such as rounding a rational number or extracting
a date from a date/time.
