Description
= IS, EQUAL, EQ Tests for equality.
< LT, LESS THAN Tests for less than.
<= LTE, LE,
LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO
Tests for less than or equal to.
>GT
GREATER THAN
Tests for greater than.
>= GTE,
GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO
Tests for greater than or equal to.
< > IS NOT, NEQ,
NOT EQUAL
Tests for nonequality.
CONTAINS Tests whether a value is contained within a
second value.
DOES NOT CONTAIN Tests whether a value is not contained
within a second value.
Operators Description
+, -, *, / The basic arithmetic operators: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
In the case of division, the right operand cannot be zero.
+, - Unary arithmetic operators for setting the sign of a number as either positive or
negative (+ or -).
Mod Returns the remainder (modulus) after a number is divided by a divisor. The result
has the same sign as the divisor. The right operand cannot be zero. For example,
11 MOD 4 is 3.
\ Divides two integer values. Use the \ (backslash character) to separate the
integers. The right operand cannot be zero. For example, 9 \ 4 is 2.
^ Returns the result of a number raised to a power (exponent). Use the ^ (caret) to
separate the number from the power. The left operand cannot be zero. For
example, 2 ^ 3 is 8.
