Operators

Last update: February 23, 2022

There are two kinds of operators: unary operators and binary operators. There are left-hand unary operators and right-hand unary operators.

    // left-hand unary operators
    <operator> <operand> // operand is an expression
    not (@{LobbyBeacon.endUserIDs._experience.emailid.id}=="example@adobe.com")

    // right-hand unary operators
    <operand> <operator> // operand is an expression
    @{LobbyBeacon.endUserIDs._experience.emailid.id} is not null

    // binary operators
    <operand1> <operator> <operand2>
    (@{LobbyBeacon.endUserIDs._experience.emailid.id}=="example1@adobe.com") or
    (@{LobbyBeacon.endUserIDs._experience.emailid.id}=="example2@adobe.com")

Important notes

  • When using a multiplication (*), both operation fields must have the same type, either integer or decimal. Example :

    • the following example is correct: 3.0 * 4.0
    • 3 * 4.0 will lead to an error

Logical

and

<expression1> and <expression2>

Both <expression1> and <expression2> must be boolean. The result is boolean.

Example:

3.14 > 2 and 3.15 < 1

or

<expression1> or <expression2>

Both <expression1> and <expression2> must be boolean. The result is boolean.

Example:

3.14 > 2 or 3.15 < 1

not

not <expression>

<expression> must be boolean. The result is boolean.

Example:

not 3.15 < 1

Comparison

is null

<expression> is null

The result is boolean.

Note that null means the expression has no evaluated value.

Example:

@{BarBeacon.location} is null

is not null

<expression> is not null

The result is boolean.

Note that null means the expression has no evaluated value.

Example:

@ is not null

has null

<expression> has null

<expression> must be a list. The result is boolean.

Useful to identify that a list contains at least one null value.

Example:

["foo", "bar", null] has null --  returns true.

["foo", "bar", ""] has null -- returns false because "" is not considered as null.

==

<expression1> == <expression2>

Both <expression1> and <expression2> must have the same data type. The result is boolean.

Example:

3.14 == 42

"foo" == "bar"

!=

<expression1> != <expression2>

Both <expression1> and <expression2> must have the same data type. The result is boolean.

Example:

3.14 != 42

"foo" != "bar"

>

<expression1> > <expression2>

Datetime can be compared with Datetime.

Datetimeonly can be compared with Datetimeonly.

Both integer or decimal can be compared with both integer or decimal.

Any other combination is forbidden.

The result is boolean.

Example:

3.14 > 42

>=

<expression1> >= <expression2>

Datetime can be compared with Datetime.

Datetimeonly can be compared with Datetimeonly.

Both integer or decimal can be compared with both integer or decimal.

Any other combination is forbidden.

The result is boolean.

Example:

42 >= 3.14
