# Comparison

Comparison filters are useful for comparisons and checking data types, especially for conditional logic. They will result in a true or false boolean value.

* [**bitwise\_not**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#bitwise_not) - Returns the existing value with its bits flipped.
* [**equals**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#equals) - Returns a boolean if both values are equal.
* [**even**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#even) - Returns whether or not the value is even.
* [**greater\_than**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#greater_than) - Returns a boolean if the left value is greater than the right value.
* [**greater\_than\_or\_equal**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#greater_than_or_equal) - Returns a boolean if the left value is greater than or equal to the right value.
* [**in**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#in) - Returns whether or not the value is in the array.
* [**is\_array**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_array) - Returns whether or not the value is a numerical indexed array.
* [**is\_bool**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_bool) - Returns whether or not the value is a boolean.
* [**is\_decimal**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_decimal) - Returns whether or not the value is a decimal value.
* [**is\_empty**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_empty) - Returns whether or not the value is empty ("", null, 0, \[], \{}).
* [**is\_int**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_int) - Returns whether or not the value is an integer.
* [**is\_null**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_null) - Returns whether or not the value is null
* [**is\_object**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_object) - Returns whether or not the value is an object.
* [**is\_text**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#is_text) - Returns whether or not the value is text.
* [**less\_than**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#less_than) - Returns a boolean if the left value is less than the right value
* [**less\_than\_or\_equal**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#less_than_or_equal) - Returns a boolean if the left value is less than or equal to the right value
* [**not**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#not) - Returns the opposite of the existing value evaluated as a boolean
* [**not\_equals**](/the-function-stack/filters/comparison#not_equals) - Returns a boolean if both values are not equal
