Remark

Operands of the same type:

Number

Number

Number

5 AND 4 --> 1

4 AND 0 --> 0

Numbers greater than 0 are interpreted as
1 (true).

Text

Text

Number

"Metrohm" AND "AG" --> 1

"" AND "AG" --> 0

An empty character string ("") is interpre-
ted as 0 (false), everything else as 1 (true).
The first operation therefore corresponds
to 1 AND 1 --> 1.

Time

Time

Number

Time(1999;10;07) AND
Time(1999;10;07) --> 1

Time(): see Time(Date)

Operands of a different type:

Number

Text

Number

1.2 AND "1.2" --> 1

0 AND "1" --> 1

0 AND "0" --> 1

0 AND "" --> 0

Before the operation, the operand of the
type Number is converted to the type
Text, as a conversion from Text to Num-
ber
is not advisable. During the second
operation, the 0 is therefore converted to
"0", which corresponds to the logical
value 1 (true), as every character string
that is not empty is interpreted as 1.

Number

"Metrohm" AND 1.2 --> 1

The same rules apply here as for the previ-
ous operation.

Time

Number

2.0 AND Time(1999;10;7) -->
1

0 AND Time(1999;10;07) --> 0

Before the operation, the operand of the
type Date/Time is converted to Number
and all data from December 30, 1899 are
interpreted as 1 (true).
