SPSS Syntax Language Logical Operators
Part of the SPSS For Dummies Cheat Sheet
Syntax offers conditional statements that are executed only if conditions are right. Usually those conditions are determined by evaluating the contents of a variable with a logical or relational operator. The following table lists the logical operators you can use for longer, complex comparisons:
| Symbol | Alpha | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| & | AND | Both relational operators must be true |
| | | OR | Either relational operator can be true |
| ~ | NOT | Reverses the result of a relational operator |
