Comparison Operators

Comparison operators in Python allow you to compare values and determine their relationships. These operators are fundamental in making decisions and controlling the flow of your program.

Operator	Description	Example
Comparison Operators
<	Test if x is smaller than y	x < y
>	Test if x is greater than y	x > y
==	Test if x is exactly equal to y	x == y
>=	Test if x is greater than or equal to y	x >= y
<=	Test if x is smaller than or equal to y	x <= y
!=	Test if x is not equal to y	x != y

Less Than (<)

The < operator checks if the value on the left is less than the value on the right.

x = 5
y = 10
result = x < y
print(result)
# Output: True

Greater Than (>)

The > operator checks if the value on the left is greater than the value on the right.

x = 10
y = 5
result = x > y
print(result)
# Output: True

Equal To (==)

The == operator checks if the value on the left is exactly equal to the value on the right. This operator is commonly used in conditions to test equality.

x = 10
y = 10
result = x == y
print(result)
# Output: True

Greater Than or Equal To (>=)

The >= operator checks if the value on the left is greater than or equal to the value on the right.

x = 10
y = 10
result = x >= y
print(result)
# Output: True

Less Than or Equal To (<=)

The <= operator checks if the value on the left is less than or equal to the value on the right.

x = 5
y = 10
result = x <= y
print(result)
# Output: True

Not Equal To (!=)

The != operator checks if the value on the left is not equal to the value on the right. This is useful for testing inequality.

x = 10
y = 5
result = x != y
print(result)
# Output: True
