For strings, the comparison is case sensitive.   Code: <% ="Apple"="Apple" %> <% ="aPPle"="ApplE" %>   <% =123=123 %> <% =5.67=98.7 %>   Output: True False   True False   When the = operator is used to print out the value of a variable, the statement must be enclosed by its own set of <% %>. There can blank spaces between the = operator and the variable.   Code: <% myfish = "Neon tetra" %> <% =myfish %> <% = myfish %>   Output: Neon tetra Neon tetra Copyright 1999-2001 by Infinite Software Solutions, Inc.
