# Is Equal

## Overview

![](/files/yBvyI2qBa0PPyvjOH2an)

**IsEqual** is a **Relational Expression Node**, which compares two **Input Values**, and returns a **Boolean**, based on whether or not they are *equal* to one another.

**Relational Expressions** are frequently used alongside **Branch Nodes** and **Logical Operator Nodes** to manipulate the flow of logic and are essential when building any complex applications.

## Attributes

| Attribute   | Type          | Description                                                             |
| ----------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Data Type` | **Drop-down** | The type of data that will be plugged into the `A` and `B` **Sockets**. |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type                                          | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard **Input Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `A`               | *Defined in the* `Data Type` ***Attribute**.* | The **Value** to be compared with `B`.                                |
| `B`               | *Defined in the* `Data Type` ***Attribute**.* | The **Value** to be compared with `A`.                                |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type      | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard **Output Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `C`                | **Bool**  | Returns *true* if `A` is equal to `B`. If not, then it returns *false*.                                                                |

## Examples

Below is an insight into the behaviour of the **IsEqual Node**. Note that when comparing **Strings**, the evaluation of equality is *case-sensitive*.

|             |             |         |
| ----------- | ----------- | ------- |
| `A`         | `B`         | `C`     |
| 123         | 123         | *True*  |
| 85.05       | 85.06       | *False* |
| "Cat"       | "Dog"       | *False* |
| False       | False       | *True*  |
| "Mr. Smith" | "mr. smith" | *False* |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/master/toolbox/flow-control/isequal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
