A comparative operator is an operator that takes in operands and returns a boolean.
Equal to (==) (===)
When you want to check if a value is equal to another value in osl, there's multiple levels of how to do it.
Case Insensitive
When you want to do an equals check for two values that is case and type insensitive, you can use ==
log "hello" == "Hello"
// this will return true
Case Sensitive
When you want to do an equals check for two values that is case and type sensitive, you can use ===
log "hello" === "Hello"
// this will return false
log "world" === "world"
// this will return true
Type Sensitivity is also a benefit of using ===
log "10" == 10
// this will return true
log "10" === 10
// this will return false
Greater than
You can check if a value is greater than another using the > operator. Greater than is always case insensitive when using strings
log 10 > 5
// this will return true
// 10 is greater than 5
log "a" > "b"
// this will return false because a is before b in the alphabet
// you can also use !> for strings too
log 5 >= 5
// returns true
// this will check if both values are greater than or equal to each other
Less than
You can also do the inverse of greater than and check if a value is less than another using the < operator
log 10 < 5
// this will return false
// 10 is less than 5
log "a" < "b"
// this will return true because a is before b in the alphabet
log 5 <= 5
// returns true
// this will check if both values are less than or equal to each other
Checking Contains
You can check if a value contains another value using
log "1" in "1234"
// returns true
Ternary Operator (?)
The ? operator provides a shorthand way to write simple if-else statements. It takes three operands: a condition followed by two values, where the first value is returned if the condition is true, and the second value if it's false.
// Basic syntax:
condition ? value1 value2
// Examples
age = 20
status = age >= 18 ? "adult" "minor"
// If age is >= 18, status will be "adult", otherwise "minor"
score = 85
result = score > 60 ? "pass" "fail"
// If score is > 60, result will be "pass", otherwise "fail"
// Can be used in expressions
text "Points: " + (points > 100 ? "max" points)
// Shows "max" if points > 100, otherwise shows the points value
Inverting A Comparison
You can simply place a ! infront of any comparison below to make it do the opposite of the norm.
log 10 != 5
// returns true
// functions as the inverse of ==
log 10 !== 5
// returns true
// functions as the inverse of ===
log 10 !> 5
// returns false
// functions as the inverse of >
log 10 !< 5
// returns true
// functions as the inverse of <
log "1" !in "1234"
// returns false
// functions as the inverse of in
