Currently, we have the <, >, <= and >= operators. We can check if a value is smaller than another value, bigger than another value, smaller or equal than/to another value, or bigger or equal than/to another value. However, we don't have an operator that allows us to check if a value is smaller or bigger than another value. For this reason, I suggest that we add the >< operator. It would return true if a value is smaller than another value and it would return true if the value is smaller than the other value.

There is currently obviously no way to do this, as we do not have a bigger or smaller than operator. Of course, we can do it by using two if statements, but that makes the code less readable and it is harder to use.

Or we could just use the ~= operator like normal people do.

I'm not trying to check if a value is different from another value, I'm trying to check if it is bigger or smaller than that other value! You don't understand, you must be a bad scripter.

That won't work, you can only have one conditional expression in an if statement. You need two if statements to do that. Btw, there is no such thing as 'and' in Lua.

I know what you're trying to do but it's essentially a ~= operator if the types are the same.

I'm not a bad scripter, you're just an insane scripter.

The ~= operator is to check if the value is different from the value, not to check if it is bigger or smaller than the other value. They're completely irrelevant. You must not understand what the ~= operator does.

Oh my god, none of you understands anything of scripting! I'm not trying to check if a value is different from another value, I'm trying to check if it is smaller or bigger than that other value!

Isn't the value different when it's bigger or smaller?

Equality has nothing to do with superiority comparisons! I don't care whether the values are different or not, I just want to know if one of the values is bigger or smaller than the other!

A value being smaller or bigger than another has nothing to do with inequality!

I'm not spamming, dude, I'm suggesting something useful!

@ Julien: yes, there is such a thing as and.

a and b is true only if a is truthly and b is truthly.

~This sig is false~

LOL.
If a value is bigger or smaller than another value, it means that they are not equal aka inequal! :DD

Because there is no such operator!

Try this:

if 5 < or > 6 then end

> unexpected symbol near 'or'

I find it hilarious that Julien is a better troll than trolls that actually try to be trolls.

What's up, Julien? Is there ever a case when a number that doesn't equal another number isn't bigger or smaller than it, or vice versa?

In fact, I'm not trolling, it was just intended to be a joke, but it seems none of you was good enough to realize it. :P
