How do I compare 2 ints in sql?

Question

I'm looking for a way to return a bit representing whether 2 ints are equal. When I try the following I get "Incorrect syntax near '='." What am I missing? I'm using SQL Server 2005.

DECLARE @Table1Count AS INT

DECLARE @Table2Count AS INT

SELECT @Table1Count = COUNT(*) FROM Table1

SELECT @Table2Count = COUNT(*) FROM Table2

PRINT @Table1Count = @Table2Count

Thanks.

Answer 1

IF @Table1Count = @Table2Count
    PRINT 1
ELSE
    PRINT 0

alternately:

PRINT CASE WHEN @Table1Count = @Table2Count THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

Answer 2

DECLARE @Table1Count AS INT
DECLARE @Table2Count AS INT
SELECT @Table1Count = COUNT(*) FROM Table1
SELECT @Table2Count = COUNT(*) FROM Table2
PRINT case when @Table1Count = @Table2Count then '1' else '0' end
