ColdFusion 8 introduced a few new decision operators. == (is the same as EQ) != (is the same as NEQ) > (is the same as GT) < (is the same as LT) >= (is the same as GTE) <= (is the same as LTE) Note that these are available only when used in expressions inside a CFScript block. And they are NOT available in expressions inside CF tags.

<cfscript>

   iNum1 = 10;

   iNum2 = 20;



   writeOutput("<p>iNum1 = #iNum1#<br/>iNum2 = #iNum2#</p>");



    /* this is same as using the EQ operator */

   bResult = (iNum1 == iNum2);

   writeOutput("<p>Is iNum1 equal to iNum2 (iNum1 == iNum2): #bResult#</p>");



   /* this is same as using the NEQ operator */

    bResult =  (iNum1 != iNum2);

   writeOutput("<p>Is iNum1 not equal to iNum2 (iNum1 != iNum2): #bResult#</p>");



   /* this is same as using the GT operator */

    bResult =  (iNum1 > iNum2);

   writeOutput("<p>Is iNum1 greater than iNum2 (iNum1 > iNum2): #bResult#</p>");



    /* this is same as using the LT operator */

   bResult = (iNum1 < iNum2);

   writeOutput("<p>Is iNum1 less than iNum2 (iNum1 < iNum2): #bResult#</p>");



    /* this is same as using the GTE operator */

   bResult = (iNum1 >= iNum2);

   writeOutput("<p>Is iNum1 greater than or equal to iNum1: (iNum1 >= iNum2): #bResult#</p>");



   /* this is same as using the LTE operator */

    bResult = (iNum1 <= iNum2);



   writeOutput("<p>Is iNum1 less than or equal to iNum1: (iNum1 >= iNum2): #bResult#</p>");

</cfscript>

The code above produces this output.

=======Start output=======

iNum1 = 10
iNum2 = 20

Is iNum1 equal to iNum2 (iNum1 == iNum2): NO

Is iNum1 not equal to iNum2 (iNum1 != iNum2): YES

Is iNum1 greater than iNum2 (iNum1 > iNum2): NO

Is iNum1 less than iNum2 (iNum1 < iNum2): YES

Is iNum1 greater than or equal to iNum1: (iNum1 >= iNum2): NO

Is iNum1 less than or equal to iNum1: (iNum1 >= iNum2): YES

=======End output======= More information on these can be found in the Adobe Livedocs. Note: Please also have a look at the discussion comments at the bottom of the the related blog entry Boolean Operators in ColdFusion 8.
