Python comparison operators compares any two variables or values. Comparison operators always returns a boolean value . All comparison operators and their application are shown below in the form of a table taking the value of x and y as 9 and 2 –
| Operator(name) | Example | Description | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
==(Equal to) | x == y | Returns True if both operands are equal else False | False |
!=(Not equal to) | x != y | Returns True if both operands are not equal else False | True |
>(Greater than) | x > y | Returns True if left operand is greater than right operand else False | True |
>=(Greater than or equal to) | x >= y | Returns True if left operand is greater than or equal to right operand else False | True |
<(Less than) | x < y | Returns True if left operand is less than right operand else False | False |
<=(Less than or equal to) | x <= y | Returns True if left operand is less than or equal to right operand else False | False |
Now we will see about all the comparison operators in details with code –
Python Equal to operator
Python Equal to(“==”) operator returns True if both the operands are equal else returns False .
Example 1:
x=9
y=2
print("x==y =",x==y)x==y = False
In the above code value of x and y are 9 and 2.As the value of x and y are different , x==y returned False .
Python Not equal to operator
Python Equal to(“!=”) operator returns True if both the operands are different else returns False .
Example 1:
print("x!=y =",x!=y)x!=y = True
In the above code as the value of x(9) and y(2) are different , x!=y returned True .
Python Greater than operator
Python Greater than(“>”) operator returns True if left operand is greater than right operand else returns False .
Example 1:
print("x>y =",x>y)x>y = True
In the above code as the value of x(9) is greater than the value of y(2) , x>y returned True .
Python Greater than or equal to operator
Python Greater than or equal to(“>=”) operator returns True if left operand is greater than right operand or left operand is equal to right operand else returns False .
Example 1:
print("x>=y =",x>=y)x>=y = True
In the above code as the value of x(9) is greater than the value of y(2) , x>=y returned True
Python Less than operator
Python Less than(“<”) operator returns True if left operand is less than the right operand else returns False .
Example 1:
print("x<y =",x<y)x<y = False
In the above code as the value of x(9) is not less than the value of y(2) , x>=y returned False .
Python Less than or equal to operator
Python Less than or equal to(“<=”) operator returns True if left operand is less than the right operand or left operand is equal to the right operand else returns False .
Example 1:
print("x<=y =",x<=y)x<=y = False
In the above code as the value of x(9) is neither less than the value of y(2) nor equal to the value of y(2) , x<=y returned False .
