Comparison operators are used to compare two values. The comparison operators are:
==
| equal to |
!=
| not equal to |
<
| less than |
<=
| less than or equal to |
>
| greater than |
>=
| greater than or equal to |
The following comparison rules apply:
scalar values (nil, boolean values, numbers and infinity) compare according to their numerical value;
strings and lists are greater than any scalar value;
lists compare sequentially according to their elements (keys are ignored);
functions are called with no arguments to get their value for comparison;
objects are equal only if they are the same.
