Computers can perform more than just mathematical tasks - they are also virtuosos in classical logic. Much as how arithmetic involves manipulating number with addition, multiplication and such, logic involves manipulating the values true and false using its own operators. Those are not text string - they are values as fundamental as the natural numbers. In computer science, they are both called Booleans, after the 19th century mathematician George Boole.

is is a logical operator. Just as + adds the two numbers on each side of it, is compares two values on each side and evaluates to true or false depending on whether they're identical. It works equally well with strings, numbers, Array, and anything else, but beware - the string "2" is not equal to the number 2.

There are several other logical operators available.

Operator	Purpose	Example
`is`	Evaluates to `true` if both sides are equal, otherwise `false`.	`$bullets is 5`
`is not`	Evaluates to `true` if both sides are not equal.	`$friends is not $enemies`
`contains`	Evaluates to `true` if the left side contains the right side.	`"Fear" contains "ear"`
`is in`	Evaluates to `true` if the right side contains the left side.	`"ugh" is in "Through"`
`>`	Evaluates to `true` if the left side is greater than the right side.	`$money > 3.75`
`>=`	Evaluates to `true` if the left side is greater than or equal to the right side.	`$apples >= $carrots + 5`
`<`	Evaluates to `true` if the left side is less than the right side.	`$shoes < $people * 2`
`<=`	Evaluates to `true` if the left side is less than or equal to the right side.	`65 <= $age`
`and`	Evaluates to `true` if both sides evaluates to `true`.	`$hasFriends and $hasFamily`
`or`	Evaluates to `true` if either side is `true`.	`$fruit or $vegetable`
`not`	Flips a `true` value to a `false` value, and vice versa.	`not $stabbed`

Conditions can quickly become complicated. The best way to keep things straight is to use parentheses to group things.
