= Comparison
<> Not Equal To
< Less Than
> Greater Than
For less than and greater than operations, the string is evaluated in ASCII order. For
example, the comparison "ABC" > "ABD" would be false. The system looks
character by character; the first two characters are identical in both strings, and when
it evaluated the characters C (ASCII 67) vs. D (ASCII 68), the result is false. The
comparison "ABC"<"ABCD" is true because a shorter string alphabetically precedes
one that is identical but longer.
