Open it in Codoritmo

Opens the editor with this example loaded. Run it step by step and watch the flowchart.

Worked example

A complete algorithm, ready to copy and run.

equal-operator.psc · 3 lines
Algoritmo Example    Escribir "Ana" = "ana"FinAlgoritmo

Output

Shows: FALSO (upper and lower case count as different)

This is what the console shows when the example runs.

FALSO

Common mistake

= compares; to store a value in a variable use <-.

Good to know

You can also write == to compare.

In a flowchart

This is how it appears in a flowchart, with the same shapes Codoritmo draws.

clave = "1234"SíNo
Used inside a condition. It has no shape of its own; it's used inside a condition. Flowchart: a decision diamond with the condition "clave = "1234""; the Sí (yes) exit continues down and the No exit turns right.

The general form. Replace what's inside < > with your own data.
