## Units

Sass has powerful support for manipulating units based on how [real-world unit
calculations][] work. When two numbers are multiplied, their units are
multiplied as well. When one number is divided by another, the result takes
its numerator units from the first number and its denominator units from the
second. A number can have any number of units in the numerator and/or
denominator.

{% codeExample 'number-units', false %}
@debug 4px * 6px; // 24px*px (read "square pixels")
@debug math.div(5px, 2s); // 2.5px/s (read "pixels per second")

// 3.125px*deg/s*em (read "pixel-degrees per second-em")
@debug 5px * math.div(math.div(30deg, 2s), 24em);

$degrees-per-second: math.div(20deg, 1s);
@debug $degrees-per-second; // 20deg/s
@debug math.div(1, $degrees-per-second); // 0.05s/deg

Because CSS doesn't support complex units like square pixels, using a number
with complex units as a [property value][] will produce an error. This is a
feature in disguise, though; if you aren't ending up with the right unit, it
usually means that something's wrong with your calculations! And remember, you
can always use the [`@debug` rule][] to check out the units of any variable or
[expression][].

[property value]: /documentation/style-rules/declarations
[`@debug` rule]: /documentation/at-rules/debug
[expression]: /documentation/syntax/structure#expressions

Sass will automatically convert between compatible units, although which unit
it will choose for the result depends on which implementation of Sass you're
using.If you try to combine incompatible units, like `1in + 1em`, Sass will
throw an error.
{% endmarkdown %}

{% codeExample 'compatible-units', false %}
// CSS defines one inch as 96 pixels.
@debug 1in + 6px; // 102px or 1.0625in

@debug 1in + 1s;
// ^^^^^^^^
// Error: Incompatible units s and in.
===
// CSS defines one inch as 96 pixels.
@debug 1in + 6px // 102px or 1.0625in

@debug 1in + 1s
// ^^^^^^^^
// Error: Incompatible units s and in.
{% endcodeExample %}

{% markdown %}
As in real-world unit calculations, if the numerator contains units that are
compatible with units in the denominator (like `math.div(96px, 1in)`), they'll
cancel out. This makes it easy to define a ratio that you can use for
converting between units. In the example below, we set the desired speed to
one second per 50 pixels, and then multiply that by the number of pixels the
transition covers to get the time it should take.

If your arithmetic gives you the wrong unit, you probably need to check your
math. You may be leaving off units for a quantity that should have them!
Staying unit-clean allows Sass to give you helpful errors when something isn't
right.

You should especially avoid using interpolation like `#{$number}px`. This
doesn't actually create a number! It creates an [unquoted string][] that
*looks* like a number, but won't work with any [number operations][] or
[functions][]. Try to make your math unit-clean so that `$number` already has
the unit `px`, or write `$number * 1px`.

[unquoted string]: /documentation/values/strings#unquoted
[number operations]: /documentation/operators/numeric
[functions]: /documentation/modules/math
{% endheadsUp %}

{% headsUp %}
Percentages in Sass work just like every other unit. They are *not*
interchangeable with decimals, because in CSS decimals and percentages mean
different things. For example, `50%` is a number with `%` as its unit, and
Sass considers it different than the number `0.5`.

You can convert between decimals and percentages using unit arithmetic.
`math.div($percentage, 100%)` will return the corresponding decimal, and
`$decimal * 100%` will return the corresponding percentage. You can also use
the [`math.percentage()` function][] as a more explicit way of writing
`$decimal * 100%`.

title: Boolean Operators
introduction: >
Unlike languages like JavaScript, Sass uses words rather than symbols for its
[boolean](/documentation/values/booleans) operators.

{% markdown %}
* `not <expression>` returns the opposite of the expression's value: it turns
`true` into `false` and `false` into `true`.
* `<expression> and <expression>` returns `true` if *both* expressions' values
are `true`, and `false` if either is `false`.
* `<expression> or <expression>` returns `true` if *either* expression's value
is `true`, and `false` if both are `false`.
{% endmarkdown %}

title: Equality Operators
---

{% compatibility 'dart: true', 'libsass: false', 'ruby: "4.0.0 (unreleased)"', 'feature: "Unitless Equality"'%}
LibSass and older versions of Ruby Sass consider numbers without units to be
equal to the same numbers with any units. This behavior was deprecated and has
been removed from more recently releases because it violates [transitivity][].

[transitivity]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitive_relation
{% endcompatibility %}

{% markdown %}
The equality operators return whether or not two values are the same. They're
written `<expression> == <expression>`, which returns whether two
[expressions][] are equal, and `<expression> != <expression>`, which returns
whether two expressions are *not* equal. Two values are considered equal if
they're the same type *and* the same value, which means different things for
different types:

[expressions]: /documentation/syntax/structure#expressions

* [Numbers][] are equal if they have the same value *and* the same units, or
if their values are equal when their units are converted between one
another.
* [Strings][] are unusual in that [unquoted][] and [quoted][] strings with the
same contents are considered equal.
* [Colors][] are equal if they have the same red, green, blue, and alpha
values.
* [Lists][] are equal if their contents are equal. Comma-separated lists
aren't equal to space-separated lists, and bracketed lists aren't equal to
unbracketed lists.
* [Maps][] are equal if their keys and values are both equal.
* [Calculations] are equal if their names and arguments are all equal.
Operation arguments are compared textually.
* [`true`, `false`][], and [`null`][] are only equal to themselves.
* [Functions][] are equal to the same function. Functions are compared *by
reference*, so even if two functions have the same name and definition
they're considered different if they aren't defined in the same place.
