Description

Compares two values for equality.

Syntax

(a == b ? v1 : v2)

where a, b, v1 and v2 may be expressions, but a, b not audio-rate.

Performance

In the above conditional, a and b are first compared. If the indicated relation is true (a is equal to b), then the conditional expression has the value of v1; if the relation is false, the expression has the value of v2. (For convenience, a sole "=" will function as "= =".)

NB.: If v1 or v2 are expressions, these will be evaluated before the conditional is determined.

In terms of binding strength, all conditional operators (i.e. the relational operators (<, etc.), and ?, and : ) are weaker than the arithmetic and logical operators (+, -, *, /, && and ||).

These are operators not opcodes. Therefore, they can be used within orchestra statements, but do not form complete statements themselves.

Examples

Here is an example of the == operator. Play equals.csd
