== checks to see if the value of the right parameter is equal to the value of the left parameter. It returns True if they are or False otherwise.
Note: If the parameter on the right hand side of the symbol is a negative literal it should be surrounded by parentheses. For example, (4 == (-1)).
Note that strings are compared without taking case into account. For a case sensitive comparison use [String->Equals] with the optional
[If: Left_Parameter == Right_Parameter]
...
[/If]
<?LassoScript
If: Left_Parameter == Right_Parameter;
...
/If;
?>

|---|---|

[If: '100' == 100]
The string and integer are equal.
[/If]
The string and integer are equal.
