xeq

Excel-style equality (text-aware coercion).

Syntax

c = xeq(A, B)

Description

Equivalent to Excel’s = comparison. Differs from eq in how it coerces types — xeq('1', 1) returns true in Excel-compat mode (text-to-number coercion). Used internally by the spreadsheet formula engine when the script-mode == semantics aren’t appropriate.

Examples

xeq(3, 3.0)                % true
xeq('apple', 'apple')      % true
