Logic
AND
This function returns TRUE if all its arguments evaluate to TRUE; it returns FALSE if one or more arguments evaluate to FALSE.
Syntax 1)
argument1 AND argument2 [AND ...]- argument1 - The first boolean condition that you want to evaluate.
- argument2 - The first boolean condition that you want to evaluate.
- [AND …] - Additional boolean conditions that you want to evaluate.
Return type
- boolean
Examples
- TRUE AND TRUE results in TRUE
- TRUE AND FALSE results in FALSE
- TRUE AND ? (= UNKNOWN) results in FALSE (since the second argument is not equal to TRUE)
1) boolean conditions are evaluated from left to the right. There is no order for the logical operators. Use parentheses to create hierarchy in your logical expressions. Example: TRUE OR (TRUE AND FALSE) will evaluate (TRUE AND FALSE) first.
OR
This function returns TRUE if at least one of its arguments evaluates to TRUE; it returns FALSE if none of the arguments evaluate to TRUE.
Syntax 1)
argument1 OR argument2 [OR ...]argument1 - The first boolean condition that you want to evaluate. argument2 - The first boolean condition that you want to evaluate. [OR …] - Additional boolean conditions that you want to evaluate.
Return type
- boolean
Examples
- TRUE OR TRUE results in TRUE
- TRUE OR FALSE results in TRUE
- TRUE OR ? (= UNKNOWN) results in TRUE
- FALSE OR ? (= UNKNOWN) results in FALSE (since none of the arguments is TRUE)
1) boolean conditions are evaluated from left to the right. There is no order for the logical operators. Use parentheses to create hierarchy in your logical expressions. Example: TRUE OR (TRUE AND FALSE) will evaluate (TRUE AND FALSE) first.
TRUE
This is the boolean value TRUE.
FALSE
This is the boolean value FALSE.
NOT
This operator reverses the value of its boolean argument.
Syntax
NOT argument- argument - The boolean condition of which you want to reverse its value.
Return type
- boolean
Examples
- NOT (TRUE) results in FALSE
- NOT (TRUE AND FALSE) results in TRUE
- NOT (? (= UNKNOWN)) results in UNKNOWN
- NOT (NOT (TRUE)) results in TRUE
UNKNOWN
You can use the '?' (question mark), representing UNKNOWN, to check if an expression or an attribute has a value.
Example
Suppose a model with an entity Person and attributes Person.name and Person.age. In runtime, a user fills out a form and enters his name, but forgets to fill out his age.
As a result
- Person.name = ? returns FALSE since this attribute is filled out
- Person.age = ? returns TRUE since this attribute is not filled out and therefore is UNKNOWN
Text
CONCATENATE
Use the '+' (plus) operator to concatenate strings or a combination of strings and other type values to produce a single string value.
Syntax
string1 + string2 + ... + value1 + ...
- string1 - The first string that you want to concatenate.
- string2 - The second string that you want to concatenate.
- value1 - A value of some type of number, date or boolean that you want to add to the new string value.
Return type
- string
Examples
| Expression | Result |
|---|---|
| 12 + ” kilometers” | “12 kilometers” |
| “This statement is ” + TRUE + ”.” | “This statement is true.” |
| “I was born on ” + Me.birthDateAndTime + ”.” (Me.birthDateAndTime = 01-12-1970 23:00:45) | “I was born on Tue Dec 01 23:00:45 CET 1970.” |
