The visits variable is a numeric (Long) variable that records the number of times respondents have visited the museum previously. The = operator compares whether the value in the variable is equal to 3. For example, you could use this expression to select respondents who have visited the museum exactly three times before.

The remember variable is a multiple response (Categorical) variable that records which galleries respondents remember viewing. The = operator in this example compares the value in the variable with three specific categories and returns True if the variable contains all of these categories and no others, regardless of the order in which the categories are stored in the variable. For example, you could use this expression to select respondents who chose the Dinosaurs, Whales, and Human biology categories, and no others.

The side_main variable is a text variable that stores the text "Main" for respondents who entered the museum through the main entrance and "Side" for respondents who entered the museum through the side entrance. The = operator compares the value in the variable with the string "Main" and returns True when the variable contains an identical string. For example, you could use this expression to select respondents who entered the museum through the main entrance. The comparison is case sensitive.

The above example shows how you would use the operator in mrScriptBasic or mrScriptMetadata. In an SQL query, you should enclose the text string in single quotation marks (' ') and not double quotation marks (" "), like this:
