Relational operators are used for comparing the values. It either returns True or False according to the condition. These operators are also known as Comparison Operators.
Operator |
Description |
Syntax |
---|---|---|
> |
Greater than: True if the left operand is greater than the right | x > y |
< |
Less than: True if the left operand is less than the right | x < y |
== |
Equal to: True if both operands are equal | x == y |
!= |
Not equal to – True if operands are not equal | x != y |
>= |
Greater than or equal to: True if left operand is greater than or equal to the right | x >= y |
<= |
Less than or equal to: True if left operand is less than or equal to the right | x <= y |
Now Let’s see each Relational Operator one by one.
1) Greater than: This operator returns True if the left operand is greater than the right operand.
Syntax:
x > y
Example:
a = 9
b = 5
# Output print (a > b)
|
Output:
True
2) Less than: This operator returns True if the left operand is less than the right operand.
Syntax:
x < y
Example:
a = 9
b = 5
# Output print (a < b)
|
Output:
False
3) Equal to: This operator returns True if both the operands are equal i.e. if both the left and the right operand are equal to each other.
Example:
a = 9
b = 5
# Output print (a = = b)
|
Output:
False
4) Not equal to: This operator returns True if both the operands are not equal.
Syntax:
x != y
Example:
a = 9
b = 5
# Output print (a ! = b)
|
Output:
True
5) Greater than or equal to: This operator returns True if the left operand is greater than or equal to the right operand.
Syntax:
x >= y
Example:
a = 9
b = 5
# Output print (a > = b)
|
Output:
True
6) Less than or equal to: This operator returns True if the left operand is less than or equal to the right operand.
Syntax:
x <= y
Example:
a = 9
b = 5
# Output print (a < = b)
|
Output:
False
