I used always '==' for comparisons, but then I saw other people using '=' so I guess it's indifferent (for comparsions).

Normally, in Visual Basic you use a single "=" but maybe there are double standards for the sake of making it easier for developers used to Java.

@all:

the "=" is an assignment of a1 = 0;
the "==" is a check for "True" and wind used only in the IF statement

B4X:

// Java-Code
if (A1 == 0) then {
  System.out.print("false");
} else {
  System.out.print("true");
}

Basic4android only uses '='.
'==' also works due to a missing check in the compiler.

Lol, good to know. I'll change all the == to = just in case.
