			OPERATOR: isvalid isvalid The isvalid operator is used to test the validity of a variable or the result type of executing an expression. A boolean value is returned to denote the results of the test. A true is returned if the variable or result type is valid. A false is returned if the variable or result type is invalid. Do not confuse this operator with the URL.isValid function which is used to validate the syntax of a URL address string. The classic case of an invalid result type for an expression is dividing by zero. In this example, as expected, the isvalid operator returns a false.
