| || | The logical operator OR is used in conditions. For instance (time<10 || time>90)*TF. |
| == | The logical operator EQUALS is used in conditions. For instance “(plantType==Vegetable)*TF”. |
| ~= | The logical operator NOT EQUALS is used in conditions. For instance “(height~=0)*(volume/height)”. |
