>= Greater than or equal toX>=Y
The equal sign is also used to assign a value to a variable. See the LET statement in the GW-
BASIC User's Reference.
When arithmetic and relational operators are combined in one expression, the arithmetic is
always performed first:
X+Y < (T-1)/Z
This expression is true if the value of X plus Y is lessthan the value of T-1 divided by Z.
6.4.3 Logical Operators
Logical operators perform tests on multiple relations, bit manipulation, or Boolean operations.
The logical operator returns a bit-wise result which is either true (not zero) or false (zero). In an
expression, logical operations are performed after arithmetic and relational operations. The
outcome of a logical operation is determined as shown in the following table. The operators are
listed in order of precedence.
