Comparison Operators (JavaScript and Delphi Prism Cross Reference Guide)

By Mike Prestwood

JavaScript versus Delphi Prism: A side by side comparison between JavaScript and Delphi Prism.

Operators

A language symbol used for assignment, comparison, computational, or as a logical.

Comparison Operators

[Other Languages]

General Info: Round Floating Point Numbers

When comparing floating point numbers, make sure you round to an acceptable level of rounding for the type of application you are using.

Languages Focus

A comparison operator compares two values either literals as in "Hello" and 3 or variables as in X and Counter. Most languages use the same operators for comparing both numbers and strings. Perl, for example, uses separate sets of comparison operators for numbers and strings.

JavaScript: ==, !=

Common comparison operators:

==	equal
!=	not equal
<	less than
>	greater than
<=	less than or equal
>=	greater than or equal

Syntax Example:

//Does JavaScript evaluate the math correctly? No!

if (.1 + .1 + .1 == .3) {
  document.write("correct");
}
else {
  document.write("not correct");
}

Delphi Prism: =, <>

Same as Delphi. Common comparison operators:

=	equal
<>	not equal
<	less than
>	greater than
<=	less than or equal
>=	greater than or equal

Syntax Example:

//Does Prism evaluate the math correctly? No!

//This is different than later versions of

//Delphi that muse MaxSingle in math.pas.

If .1 + .1 + .1 = .3 Then
  MessageBox.Show("correct")
Else
  MessageBox.Show("not correct");
