I am testing a web page that requires 2 numbers to be entered to find the value of x in the form ax + b = 0.  
I am wanting to load data from excel. Data is as follows:

Scrip test case:

```auto
WebUI.openBrowser('')

WebUI.navigateToUrl('http://localhost:8080/SWT_PresentTest/index.html')

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_TODO supply a title/input_Factor a_a'), factor_a)

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_TODO supply a title/input_Factor a_b'), factor_b)

WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_TODO supply a title/input_Result_giaiBtn'))

if (WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_TODO supply a title/input_Factor a_a'), factor_a) == 0) {
	WebUI.verifyElementText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_TODO supply a title/span_' + result), result)
	WebUI.closeBrowser()
} else {
	WebUI.verifyElementText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Page_TODO supply a title/span_x '+result), 'x = '+ result)
	WebUI.closeBrowser()
}

```

With the above test case I get the result:

**I don’t understand the problem with my if function why not get boolean value.**
