Arguments: [any] x, y Values to compare

Note: True is equal to all non-zero numbers. Text strings must match exactly, including case, to be equal. Lists and matrices are compared element-by-element.

Examples: 3==3 = true

3==4 = false

(3+I)==(3+I) = true

"word"=="word" = true

"WORD"=="word" = false

0.1==true = true

0==true = false

IF(x==3,y,z) = y if x is 3, otherwise z

upper(x)==upper(y) = compares text strings x and y without regard for case
