Hi,

What is the definition of operator 'NA'?

if I have a statement as follows:

if 'J' NA 'T'.

Would this be true or false?

Thanks

NA stands for Not Any, used in comparing two strings..

if 'J' NA 'T'.

will always be true as 'J' doesn not contain 'T'.

NA means "not contains any"(negation of contains any).

Hence it would be true.
