**Description **Use comparison operators to compare to values or expressions.

**Syntax** //expression// **operator** //expression//

**Remarks** The following table describes the available comparison operators in Basic+:



|**Operator**    |**Description**                                                     |

|# or NE         |Not equal                                                           |
|< or LT         |Less than                                                           |
|<= or LE        |Less than or equal                                                  |
|> or GT         |Greater than                                                        |
|>= or GE        |Greater than or equal                                               |
|_EQC            |Equal, case-insensitive                                             |
|_NEC            |Not equal, case-insensitive                                         |
|_LTC            |Less than, case-insensitive                                         |
|_LEC            |Less than or equal, case-insensitive                                |
|_GTC            |Greater than, case-insensitive                                      |
|_GEC            |Greater than or equal, case-insensitive                             |
|MATCH or MATCHES|Tests if the expression on the left matches the pattern on the right|



**Return value** All comparison operations result in a boolean value of either 1 (true) or 0 (false).

**See Also** If statement, Loop statement, MATCHES operator

**Example** 

if "hello" _NEC "HELLO" then

Msg(@window, "There is something very wrong")
