Logical Expressions Logical expressions are used in if statements, switch case statements, and while loops to change the sequence of execution of LABVIEW MATHSCRIPT commands in response to variable values. A logical expression is one that evaluates to either true or false. For example, v > 0 is a logical expression that will be true if the variable v is greater than zero and false otherwise. In LABVIEW MATHSCRIPT, logical values (true and false) are actually represented by numerical values. The numerical value of zero represents false, and any nonzero numerical value represents true. Logical expression are typically formed using the following relational operators: Relational Operators Symbol Relation < Less than <= Less than or equal to > Greater than >= Greater than or equal to == Equal to ~= Not equal to

== is not the same as =; LABVIEW MATHSCRIPT's treats them very differently. == compares two values, while = assigns a value to a variable. Complex logical expressions can be created by combining simpler logical expressions using the following logical operators: Logical Operators Symbol Relation ~ Not && And || Or
