Equal

operand1 = operand2

The expression results in True, if operand1 and operand2 both result in the same value. Otherwise it results in False.

Function and procedure values are deemed not equal if they are created by different definitions.

For example, if:

  f(x) = x
  g(x) = x
then
  f = g
results in False, even though f and g are identical.
