Syntax

expr1 Eqv expr2

Elements

expr1, expr2

Any expressions. Their values must lie within the range for Long values.

The following table explains how LotusScript determines the result of the Eqv operation.

expr1	expr2	Result
TRUE	TRUE	TRUE
TRUE	FALSE	FALSE
FALSE	TRUE	FALSE
FALSE	FALSE	TRUE
TRUE	NULL	NULL
NULL	TRUE	NULL
FALSE	NULL	NULL
NULL	FALSE	NULL
NULL	NULL	NULL

In addition to performing a logical equivalence, the Eqv operator compares identically positioned bits in two numeric expressions (known as a bit-wise comparison) and sets the corresponding bit in the result according to the following table.

Bit n in expr1	Bit n in expr2	Bit n in result
1	1	1
1	0	0
0	1	0
0	0	1

Example

Dim a As Variant, b As Variant, c As Variant
a = &HF
b = &HF0
c = &H33
Print TRUE Eqv TRUE               ' Prints True
Print FALSE Eqv FALSE             ' Prints True
Print TRUE Eqv FALSE              ' Prints False
Print Hex$(a Eqv b)               ' Prints FFFFFF00
Print Hex$(a Eqv c)               ' Prints FFFFFFC3
Print Hex$(b Eqv c)               ' Prints FFFFFF3C
