Logical Operators

The document describes various logical operators in VBScript - AND, OR, NOT, XOR, IS, EQV, and IMP - and their truth tables. The AND, OR, XOR operators also perform bitwise operations on numeric expressions by comparing corresponding bits and setting the result bit. The NOT operator inverts the bits of an expression. The IS operator checks for object equality. The EQV and IMP operators perform logical equivalence and implication operations respectively.

AND OPERATOR

result

Any numeric variable.

expression1

Any expression.

expression2

Any expression.

If expression1 is And expression2 is The result is

True True True

True False False

True Null Null

False True False

False False False

False Null False

Null True Null

Null False False

Null Null Null

The And operator also performs a bitwise comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric
expressions and sets the corresponding bit in result according to the following table:
And bit in expression2
If bit in expression1 is The result is
is

0 0 0

0 1 0

1 0 0

1 1 1

NOT OPERATOR
result

Any numeric variable.

expression

Any expression.

Remarks

The following table illustrates how result is determined:

If expression is Then result is

True False

False True

Null Null

In addition, the Not operator inverts the bit values of any variable and sets the corresponding bit in
result according to the following table:

Bit in expression Bit in result

0 1

1 0
OR OPERATOR

result

Any numeric variable.

expression1

Any expression.

expression2

Any expression.

Remarks

If either or both expressions evaluate to True, result is True. The logical operation is not short-
circuited. All expressions are evaluated.

The following table illustrates how result is determined:

If expression1 is And expression2 is Then result is

True True True

True False True

True Null True

False True True

False False False

False Null Null

Null True True


Null False Null

Null Null Null

The Or operator also performs a bitwise comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric
expressions and sets the corresponding bit in result according to the following table:

And bit in expression2


If bit in expression1 is Then result is
is

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 1

XOR OPERATOR

result

Any numeric variable.

expression1

Any expression.

expression2

Any expression.

Remarks

If one, and only one, of the expressions evaluates to True, result is True. However, if either expression
is Null, result is also Null. When neither expression is Null, result is determined according to the
following table:
If expression1 is And expression2 is Then result is

True True False

True False True

False True True

False False False

The Xor operator also performs a bitwise comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric
expressions and sets the corresponding bit in result according to the following table:

And bit in expression2


If bit in expression1 is Then result is
is

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 0

IS OPERATOR
result = object1 Is object2

Arguments

result

Any numeric variable.

object1

Any object name.

object2

Any object name.


Remarks

If object1 and object2 both refer to the same object, result is True; if they do not, result is False. Two
variables can be made to refer to the same object in several ways.

In the following example, A has been set to refer to the same object as B:

Copy
Set A = B

The following example makes A and B refer to the same object as C:

Copy
Set A = C
Set B = C

EQV OPERATOR
Used to perform a logical equivalence on two expressions.

Syntax: VBScript Eqv Operator

result = expression1 Eqv expression2

Arguments: VBScript Eqv Operator

result

any numeric variable.

expression1

Any expression.

expression2

Any expression.

Remarks: VBScript Eqv Operator

If either expression is Null, result is also Null. When neither expression is Null, result is determined
according to the following table:
If expression1 is And expression2 is The result is

True True True

True False False

False True False

False False True

The Eqv operator performs a bitwise comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric
expressions and sets the corresponding bit in result according to the following table:

If bit in expression1 is And bit in expression2 is The result is

0 0 1

0 1 0

1 0 0

1 1 1

IMP OPERATOR
Used to perform a logical implication on two expressions.

Syntax: VBScript Imp Operator

result = expression1 Imp expression2

Arguments: VBScript Imp Operator

result

Any numeric variable.

expression1

Any expression.
expression2

Any expression.

Remarks: VBScript Imp Operator

The following table illustrates how result is determined:

If expression1 is And expression2 is Then result is

True True True

True False False

True Null Null

False True True

False False True

False Null True

Null True True

Null False Null

Null Null Null

The Imp operator performs a bitwise comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric
expressions and sets the corresponding bit in result according to the following table:

If bit in expression1 is And bit in expression2 is Then result is

0 0 1

0 1 1

1 0 0

1 1 1
The value of 1 is true and 0 is false in vbscript.
