Boolens: Does not work as expected in case of strings

[TheDcoder]

Hello, I am in a little confusion with Boolens , Here is my code:

ConsoleWrite(("Something" = "Samething") & @CRLF) ; False
ConsoleWrite((Not "Something" = "Samething") & @CRLF) ; True
ConsoleWrite((Not False) & @CRLF) ; True

I have commented the results which I expected, but the expression in the 2nd line is not working as expected , Can anyone explain to me?

SciTE Output:

use parenthesis like this:

ConsoleWrite(("Something" = "Samething") & @CRLF) ; False
ConsoleWrite(Not("Something" = "Samething") & @CRLF) ; True <--- use parenthesis
ConsoleWrite((Not False) & @CRLF) ; True

@Chimp Thanks!

Operators precedence forces the evaluation of Not 'Something' and that then forces conversion of the string to a number 'Something' evaluates to zero then Not 0 evaluates to anything distinct from zero, say 1, but then 1 = 'Samething' is False (since that string also evaluates to 0).

@jchd Exactly!
