Comparison operators

Comparison operators compare operands and return boolean or integer, indicating the result of the operation. Type conversions might occur.

  eq-expr := expr "==" expr 
  eq-expr := expr "!=" expr 
  eq-expr := expr "===" expr 
  eq-expr := expr "!==" expr 
  eq-expr := expr "<=>" expr 
  eq-expr := expr "<==>" expr 

  rel-expr := expr ">" expr 
  rel-expr := expr ">=" expr 
  rel-expr := expr "<" expr 
  rel-expr := expr "<=" expr

Operator	Type conv	Returns	Description
`==`	yes	`boolean`	Checks if left and right are equal.
`!=`	yes	`boolean`	Checks if left and right are not equal.
`===`	no	`boolean`	Checks if left and right are equal. Same as call to `left.equals(right)`.
`!==`	no	`boolean`	Checks if left and right are not equal. Same as call to `!left.equals(right)`.
`<`	yes	`boolean`	Checks if left side is less than right side.
`<=`	yes	`boolean`	Checks if left side is less than or equal to right side.
`>`	yes	`boolean`	Checks if left side is greater than right side.
`>=`	yes	`boolean`	Checks if left side is greater than, or equal to right side.
`<=>`	yes	`int`	Compares operands and returns `-1` if `left < right` `0`, if `left == right` `1` if `left > right`
`<==>`	no	`int`	Compares operands and returns `-1` if `left < right` `0`, if `left == right` `1` if `left > right` This is the same as call to `left.compareTo(right)`.
